Biodynamic / Organic Seed Garlic / Premium Garlic: Tasmanian Purple

$55.00

Our Tasmanian Purple Seed Garlic / Premium Garlic is certified Demeter Biodynamic to the national Organic Standard. We save our own bulbs for seed every year, selecting the largest highest quality bulbs. Planting the biggest cloves increases yield. We get a lot of requests for seed garlic. So now we have a range of our premium quality seed garlic for sale. You can also eat our seed garlic. we recommend saving the biggest cloves to plant and eating the small ones. It is a high-quality product that is full of flavour and grown using the Demeter Biodynamic Method. (Note due to Rust in our garlic this year we recommend soaking garlic cloves before planting. Break the bulbs apart and soak the cloves overnight (don’t do it for any longer) in 1L of water with 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. If you also add 2 teaspoons of seaweed extract this will encourage root growth, then dip the cloves in alcohol).  We grow our garlic the way nature intended structuring the soil with multi species cover crops and applying Biodynamic preparations to help build soil humus. Tasmanian Purple is a hard neck variety that we harvest in mid-late November and plant in late March-mid April. It will store well till mid to late April and  It may start to shoot after that point if it gets to cold but don't worry there are plenty of simple ways to preserve garlic in your own home. Depending on storage conditions and climate it can often still be eaten in June. As farmers we have a big responsibility to regenerate our land/soil so that future generations can continue to enjoy living on farms that are productive and promote biodiversity both above and below the ground. We never use synthetic pesticides or herbicides, ensuring that you can enjoy the full, rich flavour...
