we have had 5 or six years growing in Canberra. In past, got an Australian Purple and kept saving the biggest bilbs. last year, added Monaro red from Bredbo, seemed ok not as large but we had a dog fight on the bed and stuff was squashed early. This year, sowed Diggers club 4 varieties as well as Monaro red. Just starting to harvest. The (free) diggers biofresh ok (thought we were getting Melbourne Market but they substituted) Good size bulbs for first year. Haven't harvested the rest, will repost in a week or so. In summary, any variety seems OK in Canberra, although the softnecks collapse early

Joe, good old fashion chicken manure or dynamic lifter is what I use. Spread on top of the soil where you intend to plant then turn over soil well and water in. Garlic will need a sunny spot to mature to large size. Do this a few weeks before planting. Plant garlic and water in well. Once the garlic starts to shoot use a soluable fertilizer every 2-3 weeks (maybe once a month in winter). Hope it works out for you.

Hi Moses, I came across information about a man growing garlic in Uganda. Maybe you can find him for some help on how to grow garlic. He is known as Dr Twaha Kakooza and is a resident of Bubajjwe village, Kayunga sub-county, in Kayunga district. He is the proprietor of Shatwa Mixed Farm located in the same area & also doctor of herbal medicine. Regards, Amanda.
