Shaun's Living Seeds garlic video was the reason that I had an amazing garlic harvest last year! I also bought my garlic from him to plant 🎉
Yaaaay 🥳 that's amazing news and I'm so glad to hear that! You've actually reminded me that I need to add his video links into the description for people to easily watch 🌻
Thank You Craig, another South African Seed company.
That's awesome.
Thank You for sharing with us.
💯%🌍🇿🇦WOO Woo! 👍🙌👋
Yeah, they are my absolute favourite South African seed company. I pretty much get all my seeds from them. They have a great range and their germination rates are really good. I've popped tge links to their online shop in the description if you want to check them out 🌻

Thank You Craig! 🙌👍👋
I am buying my seeds at Living seeds , amazing seed
Whoop whoop 🥳 I'm so glad to hear this and I'm thrilled to hear that you also love Livingseeds as much as I, and so many others, do 💚
It's interesting to see how it works for you in another part of the world, thank you so much. David
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment and I'm so glad to hear you found a new perspective from the other side of the world useful 🌻
Very interesting. Thanks
It's the greatest of pleasure 💚🌻
I buy straw at a pet shop that specializes in supplies for pigeons @R80(about $4) a small bale.
Oh nice! Do you know its organic and free of herbicide sprays? This is the biggest challenge with buying straw but if you found a clean source then that's absolutely amazing 🌻
Thanks for the great video! What do you do if your garlic gets rust? My whole crop was ruined by rust last season. 😢 it started quite early when there were only a few leaves. I saw Charles Dowding's garlic also had rust but that was developed a few weeks before harvest so he just left it.
It is the greats of pleasure and I'm glad you enjoyed it 💚
Yeah, rust is a real pain, especially if you are near the coast or you are in a winter rainfall area.
The most effective treatment for rust is to to spray half strength (half od recommend dosage) copper fungicide or copper soap once a week through the winter period. Prevention is best so you can start spraying from the moment you get your first leaves. This has worked really well for me in the past and I hope it works for you 🌻
