How to Store Garlic

Filed under: root veg — Tags: , — TopVeg @ 10:36 pm

After harvest, store garlic bulbs:

  • in well aerated bags or baskets
  • at relative humidity around 30-50% – if too high germination will start.
  • at temperatures a little below 15 degrees
  • well away from the fridge!

Once the garlic cloves begin to shrivel inside the wrapper, or begin to sprout, they are past their best.

Garlic bulbs will keep for several months (depending on the variety) if stored correctly after harvest.
