The white-skinned bulbs each contain 9 to 16 pretty pink cloves that will store for a long time once ripened. Spring Planting. Softneck Garlic. Plant garlic in rows in any well drained soil in full sun. It is important that the soil does not become waterlogged so incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to improve drainage and feed the soil. On particularly heavy soils, grow garlic in raised beds. Carefully split the bulb into individual cloves. Plant each clove at a depth of 2cm (1″) below the surface of the soil and 10cm (4″) apart, leaving 45cm (18″) between each row.
