Issues when storing cured garlic

Storage is very important to ensure your garlic lasts long enough for planting again but also for eating purposes.

We covered off what you can do to store your culinary garlic in this article here.

For many climatic regions storage in the shed left hanging up or on trays is sufficient, but what about those humid places especially after long or heavy rain periods while it is still summer.

We've just had that circumstance of a very warm first half of summer, which helped cured the garlic almost seamlessly.

But it has decided to rain, drizzle and be foggy across many days in the latter part of summer, and you can feel the external garlic wrappers are just moist.

This has created some surface mould on some varieties and to avoid it creating more of an issue, we continue to have our fans blowing on them, even putting the settings up so the air blows faster than normal....we just can't take the chance to lose garlic can we?

This is surface mould as mentioned, so we will remove those affected wrappers as needed and the internal garlic and wrappers underneath should not be affected. 

We go over the importance of having a certain amount of bulb wrappers in more detail here (blog to coming soon).
