Fill the soil container with multipurpose compost and also incorporate a special garlic fertilizer into its composition. Plant the garlic seed at a depth of 2.5 cm. If the pot is larger or has a long shape, make sure to leave a distance of 10 cm between the seeds.
Water the soil once a week or more often if you think it is necessary (if the soil is dry). In just a few weeks, you will enjoy flawless garlic cloves and bulbs.
