: I am a regular user of Garlic, I usually grow about half of the amount that we use in our family.
: On this years crop I decided to investigate the possibility of using the miniature bulb of cloves that develops about half way up the stem of the plant for propagation.
: My main question is: Can those miniature bulbs of cloves be used to propagate next years crop. The Garden Centres do not seem to be able to answer this question.

Hi Hugh,

For the largest garlic heads you need to plant the larger bulbs in the head.
