Who knew growing your own year’s worth supply of garlic could be so easy?? @jaimelynnruiz posted a super simple hack so that you could make it a part of your garden routine and never have to purchase garlic again!

All you have to do is take a soft-neck garlic head and take out the cloves. Then, she soaks them in baking soda and seaweed extract until they start to sprout. After 24 hours, you should start to see some sprouts which means they are ready to plant. She plants them sprout down in the soil in full sun in October and by May, they will all be ready to harvest. Easy right??

Next, she rinses them off and lets them dry out. She braids her garlic stocks and then places them in a cool, dry place so that they can dry out. Make sure to save a good head from the batch to grow for next year’s supply!
