Loamy clay and sandy loam work well. Crack open the garlic bulb mass. Plant individual cloves, pointy end up, two inches deep. Plant cloves in single or double rows. Space cloves 10-20 cm apart. Tighter spacing increases total yield in terms of weight but the bulbs are smaller. For larger bulbs space cloves at least 20 cm apart. Mulching is beneficial. Garlic should be in rotation every three to five years. Suitable rotation crops are mustard and fall rye. When starting a new crop, it’s best to use new bulbs\/cloves and avoid bulbs\/cloves from your previous crop.
