A simple Media Bed is the best aquaponics system for garlic. We do not advise you to grow garlic using Deep Water Culture.
- Garlic is an excellent crop for growing in an aquaponics system, as it is simple to maintain and does not require a lot of nutrients.
-In general, your garlic will do best in a neutral to a slightly acidic environment. You should keep it at a pH level of 6.0 to 7.0.
-For most types, a loose-fill garden or soil mix is best. In general, your garlic should be able to drain properly in its grow media. Expanded clay and gravel are excellent alternatives.
-Garlic is sensitive to direct sunlight; its optimal environment is bright sunshine with at least 7 hours of exposure each day.
-Garlic cloves must be planted 7 inches apart.
-Garlic doesn't need a lot of heat and flourishes in cooler conditions. Garlic's optimal temperature is 32 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit for the first two months. If you live in a warm region, we recommend planting your Garlic between October and December.
