The Kitchen Garden Magazine Podcast – packed full of hints, tips and advice from the team.

Garlic has been grown for centuries and has long been known for its healing powers.

Growing your own may seem unnecessary when you can buy bulbs very cheaply in the supermarkets but home grown has a far superior taste.
