What is a good way to dry garlic, I would like to try and save it for later in the year!
Can I store it in a screw top jar!

You dry garlic just like onions Headfry, lift them when they go brown and leave to dry out thoroughly either outside or spread out on a bench. You can either then plait them ot (as I do) cut off most of the dried foiliage and store in either nets or in trays.

Our garlic from last year is still good to use although one variety is now starting to sprout but we will use that for cooking quickly.

Ditto Pigletwillie! Even with the colder temps up here I managed to get the garlic dried very well in the polytunnel, then hung it up in the shed. I've had a couple started to sprout, but I used them for planting this year. Otherwise I'm still using the stores.

I think it is best to use a garlic bred for the UK - like Solent.

can you 'fully' dry it - then crush it as you woul say with chilli's?
