Reviews"This book provides thorough explanations and answers to the "why" and "what if" questions you may have found yourself wondering. After reading this book, I am eager for my seed garlic to arrive in the mail and plan to incorporate lessons that I learned reading this book as I prepare the bed, plant, and mulch for winter. [...] I anticipate this will be a well-used reference book on my shelf with many notes about my own garlic growing experiences in the margins."--Alaska Master Gardener, "His conversational style makes this book accessible to the layperson while his wealth of experience makes it useful to even the experienced gardener. Despite having been written over 20 years ago, Growing Great Garlic remains the standard gardening guide for anyone interested in the organic cultivation of garlic. [...] Give Engeland a chance and he will show you that organic garlic can be an exciting crop of diverse shapes, colors and flavors."--Southern Exposure Seed Exchange
