BOTTLEWORKS

I have found something quite cool! Garlic cloves can grow hydroponically and with little to no maintenance other than keeping the roots wet!

Here's the steps!

First you want to carefully peel the skin off a garlic clove, separating the leaflets. The place them in fresh
water. After about 2 days it will look like the image above.

After about a week or so, move them to a glass bottle or vase. I like to use Miller High Life beer bottles
because the are cheap to acquire & the labels come of easily by soaking in water over night then scrubbing
with steel wool. Larger clove leaflets will sit at the lip of the bottle while smaller ones will float in the water.
Either is fine, as long as the root are entirely in water. They put up with a day or two of being a bit out of the
water due to evaporation, I wouldn't push it.

At any point you can eat the chives growing from the top. They are great on bagels!!!

These are about a month old. The roots are really amazing to watch!

At this point you'll notice the leaflet opens to expose the new garlic inside!!! I couldn't believe it the first
time I saw it! It really looks like it's giving birth!!! Freaky huh?

I find them pretty elegant for the office or the home. If you would like me to send you one, mail or Paypal
