Alis girls Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Put some in pots last autumn - they look heathly - how much water should I give bearing in mind soil is wet and frozen and when do I start feeding. Someone here has a fantastic crop last year - I think it was Lesley - need to pick your brains please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 oo-er........I've never grown it in pots! I would just keep an eye on the pots and as soon as the weather warms up keep the soil moist. It will be dormant at the moment but will start growing again in Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks Lesley - do you feed yours _ Tomorite? I might transfer to the allotment if I ever get it organised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I'm watching this thread as I'm planning to grow my garlic in pots this year. I usually grow a whole raised bed full, but I've been tempting fate with my crop rotation, so I'm doing a few in pots instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 No, I haven't ever used feed for garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I had a super crop last year too,but I planted them in the Autumn I think I left one row in - totally forgot to harvest them, & they are sprouting again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeybunny Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I planted garlic in a raised bed in November, it looked really good this morning then I went out at lunch time today and one of my girls had nibbled the tops off most of them will they be okay?
