storing garlic

once i have pulled up my garlic what is the best way to store it?
do i get rid of all the leaves and keep the bulbs in a net of somekind or what. also once i pull them do i need to leave them to dry out first.

many thanks

When mine has dried, I usually leave it for about four weeks, I peel it all and then 'whizz' it in a food processor, cram it into steralized coffee jars and then cover with white wine vinegar. We are just coming to the end of a jar from 2008.  If needed I top up with a bit more vinegar but don't usually have to.

Another way I have had success with is to peel the cloves and put them whole in olive oil (in a clean jar) they will keep like this in the fridge for approximately a year.  You can scoop out what is needed for cooking (without having garlic smelling hands) eventually the disintegrate in the oil which looks like butter and this is delicious if used to fry things in
