Hi Guys/Gals,

Will garlic grow in scoria? Or does it need clay balls media..... ?

Cheers

Dunno - think it's going to be one of those where you have to tell us !

Seamonkey grew some garlic in her system, but I can't remember what the media was.

Clay balls all the way for me!!

Jellous .. Tooooo pricey... Wondering if it will workin scoria.. Will soon see

Dont see why it wouldnt work. Hey maybe you could just buy one bag of clay balls and put them on top or down one end of system. Its great to work with.

I might try one bed with clay balls maybe..

I reckon once you go the balls you will start saving up for more. Those scoria and blue metal systems wouldnt do much for your knuckles and nails i would think

Maybe.. It's just so expensive..

my garlic is going in clay balls,
maybe make up a half barrel GB with the balls in it so you don't need much to fill your GB

i have garlic planted in gravel.. we'll see how it goes

Excellent idea, might just do that..

Be keen to try red onions and garlic but I think the weight of rock would make them deform (like some of the carrot pics I've seen)

I'll make 1 gb up for 50% gravel and 50% clay and see what happens

Garlic will grow in rock media.. I grew some years ago in my pea gravel no problems, I assume scoria would work the same.

I've got Garlic growing in blue metal, seems to be going ok

Sweet thanks guys!

Ps nice beer
