Storage in pigtails The most ancient way, I remember my grandmother hung potbellied braids of garlic heads in the cellar. This method is used without pre-cutting the stems. The switches are hung on hooks or beam in a dry and dark place. The method is remarkable in that significantly saves space. |
 |
Storage in the grid The method has the same advantages as the storage pigtails - saves space. Trimmed and trained head placed in a grid and hung on hooks. If you choose this method, remember that it does not protect from damage and sprouting, so regularly carry out an audit of its wealth of garlic. |

The salt Store winter recommended garlic salt. An impressive crop can be placed in wooden boxes and pour the salt, creating salt "cushion" of 2-3 cm. Modest reserves can be decomposed into jars and covered space with salt. |
 |
flour The heads can be stored in a conventional flour, which perfectly absorbs moisture. At the bottom of the container layer sprinkle flour 3-4 cm die roll in flour and tightly packed. |
 |
The ash To avoid dry garlic stock, you can use the ashes. Prepare solid carton vsypte ash layer of 2-3 cm and lay prepared garlic head. Before laying the next row sprinkle another layer of ash. |

The onion skins Bed of onion peel can be used to store in baskets, bags, boxes. The apartment such boxes I would advise raising on the mezzanine in the house - the attic. |
 |
The paraffin Another great way that can be the answer to the question of how to store garlic - a paraffin. Melt the wax (candles) and alternately immerse the head in it. The protective film, which is formed on the surface, does not allow to dry cloves, in addition, you get a reliable "shield" against disease-causing organisms. This method is relevant for a small harvest, for myself, I can call him the best answer to the question of how to store garlic. Why? Low cost disposables, reliability and absence of particulate ingredients, such as flour and salt. |

The fabric pouch Garlic can be stored in the winter and in the fabric bag made of natural fabrics. Pre each head dip into the brine solution and dry. Dipped in salt can not just garlic, but also the bag. After "bathing" Always test it. |
