Part 5/8:
As winter transitions to spring, garlic will start to grow. One of the most exciting moments for gardeners is witnessing garlic push through the surface after a long winter. Jordan recommended removing any leaf mulch once the garlic reaches about 3 to 5 inches tall and adding one handful of worm castings and a tablespoon of 444 organic fertilizer per square foot.
Continued Care
Spring is mainly about allowing the garlic to thrive with minimal interference. Jordan emphasized that compared to other crops, garlic requires surprisingly little consistent care. The act of removing the mulch and ensuring it has enough nutrients is often all that's needed.
