495 Garlic Bulbs Pulled Without Digging | Harvest, Cure & Store Garlic for a Year

We harvest 495 garlic bulbs without digging, thanks to healthy, living soil built over many years. Come along as we harvest our garlic, show how to know when it's ready, cure it for long-term storage, and save the best bulbs for replanting this autumn. Along the way we also explore no-dig gardening, edible plantain, living mulch, biodiversity and the gardens in midsummer.
