Hi All,

I went to the allotment last night after work and the garlic looks a little yellow (the older outside leaves). I wonder is this normal or does it need watering/feeding? if so what should I feed it with?

For info, we have 4 types of garlic, all are going yellowish, they were planted in November, the ground looks dry and is starting to crack (a cap has formed), yet underneath its damp-ish. The shallots and onions planted in the same bed look fine, but are not as large/well developed as the garlic.

Your thoughts will be appreciated.

id say they need a feed, any general fertiliser will do (growmore/BFB/Chicket pellets etc)

Would a liquid feed be better?

they need a slow release rather than a heavy single shot.

yeh stick with the fertilisers that i suggested, liquid feeds do last that long.

I think you mean "don't"!
