Frequently Asked Questions About the Basaltic Farms Organic Garlic Growing Kit

Our Organic Garlic Growing Kit is designed for gardeners of all levels, offering everything you need to grow flavorful, certified organic garlic at home. Whether you have a sunny backyard, patio, or balcony, this kit delivers the same high-quality garlic we grow in the pristine soils of the Cascade Mountain range. Below are the most common questions we receive about planting, growing, and enjoying your Basaltic Farms garlic harvest.

Growing Success for Garlic Kit Buyers

What makes the Basaltic Farms kit ideal for growing garlic?

Our kit combines certified organic seed garlic with a custom-designed grow bag and OMRI-listed organic fertilizer. The bag’s breathable, BPA-free fabric promotes strong root development, while our curated garlic varieties are selected for flavor, storage life, and adaptability.

Which growing zones give the best results for the kit?

The kit is ideal for USDA Zones 3–8, covering most of the United States. In colder zones, mulch provides winter protection; in warmer zones, later planting dates help bulbs develop properly.

When should I plant my kit for the largest bulbs?

Plant 2–4 weeks before your first frost date. In northern zones, that’s typically October; in warmer climates, November or even early December works best.

Varieties & Selection

What garlic varieties are included in the kit

Each kit includes ¼ lb. of Chesnok Red (hardneck) and ¼ lb. of Sicilian (softneck), giving you both robust, complex flavor and mild, versatile bulbs for different culinary uses.

What’s the difference between hardneck and softneck garlic?

Hardnecks produce edible scapes and have larger, easier-to-peel cloves with bold flavor. Softnecks store longer, have more cloves per bulb, and are ideal for braiding.

How does Basaltic Farms choose which garlic goes into the kits?

We hand-select bulbs grown in our Cascade Mountain fields for size, quality, and disease resistance, ensuring only the best make it into your planting kit.

Storage, Harvest & Customer Support

How long will my harvested garlic store?

Hardneck varieties typically store 6–7 months, while softnecks can last up to 9 months in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sunlight.

When do you harvest and ship the kits?

We ship planting kits in time for your region’s planting season. Garlic is harvested on our farm in midsummer, cured, and packed fresh for fall shipping.

What guarantee do you offer on the seed garlic?

We guarantee your seed garlic will arrive healthy, viable, and ready to plant. If there are any issues upon arrival, we’ll replace or refund your kit.

Planting, Care & Troubleshooting

Do I need to add soil to the grow bag?

Yes — the bag holds 13 cubic feet of potting mix (about one large bag), which is not included so you can choose a mix suited to your climate and preferences.

What’s the best way to water garlic in the grow bag?

Water thoroughly after planting, then provide about 1 inch of water weekly (more in hot, dry weather). Use diluted Neptune’s Harvest fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

What should I do if my bulbs turn out small?

Small bulbs often result from late planting, inadequate sunlight, nutrient-poor soil, or overcrowding. Following the included spacing, sunlight, and feeding guidelines will help maximize bulb size.

❄️ Hardneck Cold-Climate Advantage

Hardneck garlic varieties require cold winter temperatures for proper bulb development, and this vernalization process enhances their nutritional profile. These varieties, grown in our mineral-rich, volcanic soil at an elevation of 3,100 feet, develop intense flavor compounds and robust nutritional density through natural cold exposure. The bonus of edible scapes provides an additional source of nutrients in late spring, offering garlic flavor with tender texture. Unlike softneck varieties, hardnecks concentrate their energy into fewer, larger cloves with more complex flavor compounds, ensuring you get maximum nutritional and culinary value from each bulb.
