How to grow garlic in pots to have an unlimited supply

Garlic is a fundamental ingredient of our gastronomy, and excluding it is almost impossible. Rich in vitamin E, magnesium and selenium, garlic is also one of the foods richest in therapeutic properties.

Few people know that it is possible to grow garlic at home , to have an almost unlimited supply. Home grown garlic is also organic and pesticide free.

To grow garlic at home you only need a head of garlic, a pot about 20 centimeters deep and some soil.

After choosing the head of garlic, separate the cloves without removing the peel.

Place the soil in the pot, then plant the garlic cloves, with the pointed side facing up, at a depth of about 10 centimetres.

The ideal is to place the vase near a window. Keep the pot inside the house until the sprouts appear, then you can also place it on the balcony.

To harvest garlic you need to wait for the leaves to dry. Extract the whole plant and dry the bulb in sunlight for a couple of days.
