Transcript: This is the quick and dirty of how you can cure your garlic. So, harvest your garlic at the right time, trim the roots, put them into bundles of 10. Attach those bundles with a piece of baling twine, I like to use a piece of baling twine that’s about one and a quarter my wingspan. And then the hardest part for me is remembering to label everything. So, label your garlic — acronyms and letters do just fine.
And then hang it over something. I’m about to walk up a ladder and hang these over a rafter. And I’m not going to have them hanging like this, I’m going to have them hanging like this. So there’s that much more airflow between them.
Now I’m going to set tons of fans, as many fans as I can possibly manage in every corner so that the air is moving around and circulating as fast and as thoroughly as possible. And then I’m going to come and monitor them every few days. I’ll check in and make sure there’s no no rot that they’re drying down as as I would like. And specifically I’m going to be looking at at this section where the stems are all bundled together and making sure that there’s enough space so that they’re actually drying down and not harboring moisture and not getting soft and potentially going to rot.
So there you have it in in a couple of weeks they will be fully cured and stay tuned for what’s next.
