How to Grow Garlic in your Organic Garden – Step by Step. Part 2

What an amazing plant! Garlic (Allium sativum) has been around for more than 3,000 years. It’s not that surprising really when you look at the culinary and medicinal purposes it boasts. Garlic is not only a staple in the kitchen, but its health benefits are outstanding as it is a natural antibiotic and has antiseptic properties. In the organic garden it is often used as the base for various insect deterrents and it also has anti-fungal properties. Garlic is also a very useful companion plant. This is a follow-on from my Part 1 article.

6. Maintenance. Garlic needs very little attention. Through winter you will need to water only if conditions are extremely dry. Pull any weeds as they come through.

As the weather gets warmer through spring and summer, water accordingly. If weeds

are becoming a problem or your layer of mulch has started to break down, add a

further layer of mulch (leave a few inches from the foliage free of mulch to prevent

rotting the stems).

7. Harvesting your Garlic. Your garlic bulbs should be ready to harvest when the foliage starts turning brown at the tips. Don’t leave them in the ground til the foliage has completely withered and died back or the bulbs may become over-mature, start splitting or even burst apart.

Wait for a hot, dry day to harvest. Use a hand fork or digger to loosen the soil, then carefully pry them from the ground. Pulling from the stems can cause damage. Shake any loose soil from the bulbs and leave them to ‘cure’ for a few weeks. Hang them by their stems in bunches in a dry, well ventilated area. Your garden shed is ideal.

They can also be dried on racks. Either way, you want to prevent mould or mildew from forming. You must never wash your bulbs. If they don’t dry out properly they may rot. Cut off any mouldy stems immediately as it can spread very quickly to your precious bulbs.

After several weeks you can cut off the stems and store the bulbs in a string or hessian bag, using as you need them. Or you can plait the stems together as has been done traditionally for many centuries and add some cottage charm to you kitchen. You just cut off each bulb as you need it.

Preserving your excess. There are many ways to preserve any excess garlic you have grown. Do some research before choosing a method as the beneficial properties of garlic change with various preservation methods. You can pickle garlic in vinegar, freeze it, dry it. There is a risk of botulism if you preserve garlic in oil – even refrigerated – for more than three weeks.

Health benefits. Garlic has been used medicinally throughout history. Many scientific studies have been completed that show beyond reasonable doubt that eating garlic improves your overall health. More specifically garlic:

* Can lower blood pressure

* Lowers or helps regulate blood sugar

* Helps remove heavy metals from the body

* Is a potent, natural anti-biotic

* Has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties

* Dramatically reduces yeast infections

* Can help prevent blood clots from forming

There are probably many more health benefits to regularly including garlic in your diet. It has also been shown that garlic tablets are less effective than ingesting live garlic. I just love it and use it as a base – along with onions – in almost all my savoury cooking. And just for the record, I hardly ever get sick.

Description

The technology used to make Garlic Freeze Dried by Pharmax is the most unique worldwide. Unlike all other garlic extract products, this one is grown in sulfur rich soil in China where no growth promotants are used. It is then hand picked and hand peeled instead of machine processed in order to prevent the garlic from being crushed and activated before it is freeze dried and encapsulated. If the garlic is crushed or moistened before it is processed, it loses half its potency. Thus, the preparation of this garlic is critically important. No other garlic manufacturers actually hand pick and peel their garlic! The result of this technology yields a freeze dried garlic which is twice more active than pharmaceutical standards for garlic! The benefits of taking this garlic product daily are remarkable:An active concentrate of freeze-dried garlic rich in alliin and alliinase, which releases high levels of allicin directly in the gut when ingested and rehydrated Remarkable broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against a range of problematic bacteria, fungi (including Candida albicans), viruses and protozoa No effect on the beneficial lactic acid flora of the gastrointestinal (G.I.) and genitourinary (G.U.) tracts Designed to be used freely in probiotic therapy alongside Pharmax's HLC range of probiotics as Garlic Freeze Dried has minimal effects on the probiotic bacteria used in the HLC range When eaten, garlic has been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and is beneficial for the circulation Garlic is known to help lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increase high density lipoproteins (HDL's) Safe with no toxicity to mammalian tissue Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

Description

The Fish Tickle System is unlike every other scent or attractant product on the market. It produces sensational results every time, for every species, and every technique. The reason is simple. Fish Tickle uses the science of scent attraction and dispersement more effectively than anything ever has before. The formulation of the Fish Tickle System begins by freeze-drying real, natural baitfish and other proven bait foods that fish consume in the wild. Freeze-drying preserves the all-important amino acids and fatty acids in the bait extending the useable life exponentially. The freeze-dried bait particles are combined with a calcium carbonate powder, a common substance found as rock in all parts of the world and the main component of seashells. Following a carefully controlled curing process, the mixture is compressed into patented Fish Tickle tablets. The tablets are inserted into the Aqua-spin or Aqua-bug dispenser and fished in conjunction with whatever technique you choose.The pellets will come in a sealed plastic bag with no retail stickers or plastic clamshell (photos show retail stickers and plastic clamshells). Please see our other listings if you're interested in different sized bulk packages.

  • 1,000 Aqua-Scent Fish Tickle Fish Attractant Pellets in GARLIC flavor
  • Scent tablets last 30 minutes on average, depending on water conditions.
  • Plus you get 10 free Aqua Glow Spinners to use with your Aqua Scents

Description

Before use, soak dried galangal slices in water first for 30 minutes or until softened. The taste of the dried slices galangal once rehydrated approaches that of the freshness.Galangal has a strong, aromatic, punchy flavor that can be overwhelming, so use the root sparingly.When cooked, galangal does not soften; it should be either left in large slices so it can be strained prior to serving or very finely chopped so the texture does not interfere with the resulting dish.To infuse soups, stews or teas with galangal, cut into quarter-inch-thick slices, simmer over low heat then strain prior to serving. A slice or two of galangal perks up plain steamed rice.For curry pastes, chop finely, and then mash with the other flavorings in a blender or with a mortar and pestle. (It is essential for Thai curry pastes, where it does not get lost among the pronounced flavors of lemongrass, chili peppers and dried shrimp.) Galangal is often used by Chinese, Indian and European physicians to treat the hiccups, nausea and other stomach discomforts.

  • 2 oz. Dried Galangal
