  • Moving Garlic

    Well it appears that last year when I dug my Garlic up I didn't dig it all up and therefore it's growing right in the middle of where I am going to be growing my Potatoes. Would I be able to dig these up to move them or would I be better to just get rid of them?

    I did the same last year and planted round them. I couldn't bear to dig them up.

      Found this Youtube video on transplanting garlic. Looks like it can be done. https://www.google.com/search?q=tran...mdlwTrg7iABA29

        Other alliums like leeks and onions transplant well, so I don't see why not, at least as long as they are still fairly young and haven't started forming bulbs yet.

          I had some elephant garlic which didn't do well the first year and only formed a single clove.
          I had forgotten that I replanted it until yesterday when I dug up the plants which were just starting to grow.
          I split up the two bulbs and got nine massive cloves which had good root systems when separated and replanted them to the depth they were, 10 inches apart in a bed.

          After watering them to settle them in I have high hopes for a decent crop of Elephant garlic this year.
