1. How to plant garlic sprouts

1. Hydroponics: Prepare several heads of garlic, peel off the outermost skin of the garlic, then prepare a shallow plate, place the garlic in the shallow plate, and fill the spaces between the garlic with garlic cloves. Then pour clean water into a shallow dish, add water to cover 1/3 of the height of the garlic, put it in a dark room, and add water when the water is gone. Hydroponic garlic can sprout in 3 days and grow tall enough to be harvested in half a month. When harvesting, cut off the garlic sprouts while keeping 10cm of them, and keep the rest in shade. After another half a month, you can harvest again. Generally, hydroponic garlic can be harvested three times.

2. Soil cultivation: prepare several heads of garlic, soak them in clean water for 2 days, then take out the garlic, place them in a cool and ventilated place to drain the water and let the garlic grow roots. After the garlic grows new roots, cut off the old roots, plant the garlic in the soil, cover with 3 cm thick fine sand, water it thoroughly and put it in a small dark room. Keep the soil slightly moist at ordinary times. When the garlic sprouts grow to 30-40 cm high, they can be harvested.
