Poor garlic harvest
- My garlic was great with large bulbs last year. This year the harvest is very small. Why?
There are various issues that can cause reduced size in garlic bulbs. Garlic (Allium sativum) is a plant that needs plenty of fertiliser and is best grown with no nearby competition from other plants including weeds. Garlic does best in full sun, so select a planting site that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day.
