Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, plant the onion sets with the tip pointing upwards, covering them so only the very top is visible. Garlic cloves should be separated from the bulb and planted point-up at roughly 10cm intervals. Care is straightforward: water the plants during prolonged dry spells, but reduce watering as the bulbs begin to mature to encourage proper skin formation. When the foliage turns yellow and starts to collapse, it is a sign that the bulbs are ready for harvesting. Once lifted, allow the bulbs to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated, shady area before storing them in a cool, dry place.
