How Much Seed?
 
 
We often get asked "how much seed will I need?".  Well, it varies by variety.  Here is a little guide to get you started, but of course it's not a guarantee.  Bulb sizes will also affect the poundage. (Large bulbs/cloves in your pound(s) of garlic will have fewer, but stronger plants.)
