the temp i have seen is about 140 farenheit, plus the container must be semi sealed to keep moisture high
not sure about the freshness of the bulbs, i have done store bought old dried bulbs and also fresh picked undried bulbs, i think maybe the new garlic will be softer and milder when done, but it seems to be many factors, every batch so far has been slightly different but i have never used the exact same bulbs twice, the experimentation is delicious

Sounds great! I am actually really excited to try this now. I have heard of black garlic but really haven’t used it.
Thanks!
And....welcome to the shroomery!

Garlic is great and comprehensive medicinal plant.
Best and simple remedy if you have a cold:
1. Crush 2-3 pieces of garlic and put it into the cup. 2. Add 1 tablespoon of honey. 3. Pour this over with hot milk. 4. Mix it and drink.
Helped me many times when I was sick. Worked much better than any drug from the pharmacy.

From front to back...

Spanish Red, Elephant, some kinda shallots, white softneck, with a small bed of leeks beyond that. I was worried about the leeks but it seems they're almost impossible to kill.

Most of them. There's one coming off an elephant garlic and the rest are all on shallots. I'll let one of the shallots and the elephant go to seed and see what I get.

I have found the easiest way to grow garlic is in a raised bed. I had a whole bed of garlic and we just sold our house

Have you read this? Pretty interesting and it doesn’t sound easy for sure.

yep, planted some this spring. Hope to get some flowers. Wiggling the bulbils out of the flower tops sounds like it might be finicky, getting them out without damaging the flowers.
