REASONS TO GROW
9 great reasons to grow garlic
Economic Benefits:
HIGH DEMAND
Quality locally-grown garlic, known for its health benefits and superior taste, is in high demand, preferred by supermarkets over imports.
Economical Seed Reproduction:
With top-notch seed, subsequent crops can be planted from the seed bank saved from the previous season's harvest, saving on future seed purchases.
Low Equipment Costs
Garlic cultivation doesn't require expensive equipment and is water-efficient, reducing costs on irrigation and energy.
Minimal Labor Requirements
Garlic's growing season demands minimal labor, although more hands are needed during planting and harvesting phases.
Agricultural Advantages:
Planting Seasons
In the Western Cape, garlic seed should be planted in April or May, while in central South Africa, it's best in February and March.
Natural Pest Protection
Garlic pairs well with other vegetables, protecting against numerous pests and is not a target for theft or consumption by wild animals.
EXTENDED SHELF LIFE:
Garlic's long shelf life allows for storage and sale at optimal pricing times without the need for climate control.
GROWTH DURATION AND YIELD
Depending on the variety, garlic takes 7 – 9 months to mature, with a potential yield of up to 9 tons per ha.
Versatility in Growth
Garlic is adaptable, thriving in almost any soil type and most climatic zones in South Africa.
Growing plan
Grow x4 every year
Garlic yields a x5 increase each year.
By selling 1/5 of your harvest and replanting the remainder, you will achieve a x4 growth annually.
Starting with 5,000 cloves, you will reach 5.12 million in five years
