By Amy Grant Garlic is a long season crop, 180-210 days to maturation, depending upon the variety. So, as you may imagine, the proper fertilization of garlic is of paramount importance. The question is not only how to fertilize garlic, but when is the best time for feeding garlic plants. Garlic Plant Fertilizer Garlic is a heavy feeder, basically because it takes so long to come to fruition. Because of this, it is best to think about feeding garlic plants right from the start. In most climates, garlic bulbs should be planted in late fall or early winter – six weeks before the soil freezes. In milder areas, you may plant garlic in January or even February for late summer or early fall. Prior to either of these planting times, you should amend the soil with plenty of compost, which will become the basis for fertilizing your garlic as well
