Book Reviews of Growing Great Garlic: The Definitive Guide for Organic Gardeners and Small Farmers

Book Review: good book
Summary: 4 Stars

this book was very helpful to me - it could of been cut in 1/2 because of all the unneeded material.
but it works for me now in my backyard in the city and it will be extra helpful when I am growing about an acre of garlic in 2 1/2 years
for someone wanting to grow only a a dozen or less bulbs, this book is probably not for you.

Summary of Growing Great Garlic: The Definitive Guide for Organic Gardeners and Small Farmers

The first garlic book written specifically for organic gardeners and small-scale farmers
Growing Great Garlic is the definitive grower's guide written by a small scale farmer who makes his living growing over 200 strains of garlic. Commercial growers will want to consult this book regularly.
The author tells us:
  • which strains to plant

  • when to fertilize

  • when to plant

  • when to prune flower stalks

  • how to plant

  • when to harvest
    Plus, how to store, market, and process the crop.
    Growing Great Garlic makes a genuine contribution in the field of garlic classification that will help the public recognize several distinct varietal types of garlic.
    Ron L. Engeland has made his living as an organic garlic grower in Washington State for nearly two decades. He has cultivated more than 450 strains from all over the world. If you want to grow incredible garlic for yourself, he's the man to listen to.
