Organic Garlic

Options
Thought I'd pop on and share this one. It's a bit more expensive, but is really strong so you don't need to use a lot. Tastes good as well.

    Sorry Salad - share what??

    Share the fact that if you can find organic garlic in the shops that it's good stuff?

    :o Probably - I thought the OP was recommending a specific brand and had meant to post a link. Daft old moo that I am, I'll just slink back into my corner and keep quiet.:silenced:

  • To be honest I can't say that I have noticed any difference between organic and non-organic garlic, this stuff on the other hand is fantastic!

  • Maybe I was just lucky with this lot. I got some in Tesco's cause I couldn't find the regular stuff and it's amazing. Well if you're easily amazed by food products anyway.. :)
  • I love organic garlic too! So much so that I planted 8 cloves of the stuff and hope soon to have my very own home grown bulbs! (The very first things I've ever grown and a very nice feeling it is too!)

  • Right - best time to ask-:D how do i grow garlic and any hints/tips - can i use a bit thats gone to seed or do i have to buy it specially?
  • I have to agree that organic garlic does seem much stronger and has much more flavour! I got mine from Tesco too ;)

    We've got a thread somewhere about growing your own garlic (or at least. GYO was part of a thread) so I'll see if I can find it for you. Watch this space and I'll edit the link in if I find it...

  • I just stuck them in some compost and water them when it gets a bit dry and I'm waiting to see what happens. I don't have any tips I'm afraid. I've no idea what it'll turn out like, except that the ones I planted outside are much bigger so far than the ones that are indoors.
