A tuning note on this: If you choose to run straight manifold vacuum to your vacuum advance in order to gain the additional timing advance at idle, you must select a vacuum advance control unit that pulls in all of the advance at a vacuum level 2â below (numerically less than) the manifold vacuum present at idle.
To avoid these diseases plant only healthy cloves, manage weeds in the garden, and take care not to injure garlic bulbs while working in the garden. Plant garlic in an area where no onions, chives, leeks, shallots or garlic have been planted for the past 4 years.
You plant garlic in the fall, like any other spring bulb and harvest in midsummer. Seed garlic is available for sale in late summer and early fall. For the past two years on Open Farm Day, Gary has given at least one talk about growing garlic, with an opportunity for Q&A. Open Farm Day takes place on the Saturday after Labor Day weekend.
