Thanks very much Bob, exactly the info I needed.
The tops on mine are starting to brown... so it looks like I'll be
harvesting soon. I might go mad and plant three rows of garlic between
my fruit tree rows next year, seems to be a good market for it where I
live. Cheers.


I wish you luck on that.


Thanks.

Australian garlic is $14/kg last I noticed here.


The price varies wildly, as you would have noticed. I've seen it well
over $30/KG even in Tassie at times.

I hope there is a good market for you, but ask around before spending the
$$$. Cousin decided it wasn't worth his effort as the market was
saturated when he crop came in.


Not much cost involved (for me at least), more time than anything
else. If I could store them until the glut has passed, I could do
okay. I also had more in mind to sell/trade it locally and I shouldn't
have much trouble moving it that way.
