yeah i soak my loach food in garlic, they go mad for it..

rainer by smack your garlic up i meant shake it about or disturb the plant like a foraging animal would,, it's not advisable but i have noticed that when you disturb the roots slightly the plant really stinks suddenly..

One tidbit

"
So Plants Actually Have a Sense of Touch?

Yes. In fact, some plants are actually much more sensitive to touch than human beings! For example, human skin can minimally detect a thread weighing 0.002mg being drawn across it. However, a feeding tentacle of the insectivorous sundew plant responds to a thread of 0.0008mg, and a climbing tendril of Sicyos actually repsonds to a thread weighing just 0.00025mg! Therefore, some plants have a sense of touch which is nearly 10 times as sensitive as human skin!"

So many posts here talking about the smell so I was wondering because I never grew garlic.

Thanks

When there are great fields of garlic in the same location then, yes you can smell it but it isn't unpleasant.

I LOVE my home grown garlic. We grow Music, Georgian Fire, Japanese Hardneck, and a Spanish softneck I brought back from Italy. My pride and joy in my garlic beds are the Israeli Softneck, I hand carried it back from a street market in Tel Aviv. It is DELICIOUS.

 

[captain planet]

Me wants that Georgian Fire!!! Music seems to be a pretty big seller

Been trying to get garlic to grow for some years now, what am i missing?

Plant bulbs in may or sept? I planted in may, im still waiting.... nothing happened. very sandy/loamy soil, dries out quick but everything else (except tomatoes) does good. Tomatoes need extra watering. Lots of squirrels around here, are they the problem?
