Sorry if I just missed someone addressing this in the past few emails, but
I'm harvesting garlic for the first time- can someone give me a very
detailed rundown of their process for curing it? I have what I've harvested
so far spread out on a greenhouse table in my barn with the door open and
fans on.

I don't intend to braid the tops, so can I cut the roots and tops off in the
field before drying? I was planning on spreading the garlic out on greenhouse
tables I moved into my barn, can I layer it or will that impeed the process?
I have a lot so I think I will hang some too, is there a right way to do
that? Is that a reason to keep the tops on so I can tie them up? Or can I
throw the fresh bulbs in a mesh bag and hang the whole bag? So many options
I'm probably making it more difficult than it needs to be....

Thanks,
Emily
