Garlic is amazing for Respiratory health, as well as red onions. I cured my diagnosed late onset asthma with it, that was developed after a horrible flu season! (It may have been covid, it was a few months before the shutdown) quick pickle sliced garlic with thin red onion and a little panela cane sugar, and eat it with everything, just like koreans eat kimchi with everything. First you might smell the difference... But I found eventually I stopped using my inhaler :)

You two are a wonderful resource for us all. Thank you for all your free content for those people who are struggling. And thank you for your reasonably priced workshops. I’m an Ayurvedic practitioner who has been teaching fermentation/sourdough/herbal medicinal healing for over a decade and I still learn a tidbit or two (or more!), from the two of you. All the best to your beautiful family.

I've been gardening for two years now, haven't tried the garlic yet. I'll give it a try. Thank you and God bless.

City girl here...I’m very much enjoying your videos. My husband is from Colorado so he’s used to living in an area where farming communities are the norm not the exception. I’m from the concrete jungle of SoCal and we are planning to move to a remote area of Wyoming once my husband is out of the marines—a bit anxiety inducing for me. We are looking at buying some land, building a house and living a little more off-grid so I find your videos a helpful guide and they are instilling great confidence within me that I can actually be successful with gardening, canning, egg preserving etc. thank you and keep the content coming!

s I do not have a back garden to do a no till I am going to try in a container. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from the UK.

For years I've been regrowing garlic I bought at the grocery store. Plant in the Fall, harvest in the Summer, then repurpose some of those cloves for the next year's crop...lather, rinse, repeat. 

I also plant garlic and basil in the Spring as companion plants around my peppers and tomatoes. Do this and you'll have the tastiest peppers & tomatoes ever!

I heard from another expert gardener that it’s okay for the shoots to come up a little as long as they don’t get more than 3-5 inches tall. I tend to cut mine back but leave some shoots for photosynthesis. It’s my first time growing garlic we will see how it goes. Wonderful video

Thanks for inspiring me to try to grow garlic! I'm in New England and my yard is tiny, the soil is terrible, so I'm going to try some cloves in a container.

Here in western Oregon I planted garlic for the first time this year.
I planted it in three of those plastic _'Waste Management'_ recycling bins. A dozen bulbs in each container.
Here in Oregon, they'll get plenty of water! lol
Fingers crossed!

Thankyou and may God bless you and all your family brother.

One of the best videos I’ve seen on hardneck garlic, only thing I’d add is that rows should be 10 to 12 inches apart.

[Minnesota_Mama_Bear]

Perfect time to revisit this video! Thank you bunches! 💚🌞

[damiontaylor]

First time viewer as well as my first time planting garlic my wife and I have a very small Homestead. I subscribed can’t wait to watch more videos you post. God bless

[bridgettewood]

I to, grow garlic, We love our garlic we plant it every year, I live in MO, moved hear from NC a few years ago, and last year I planted in late Oct and I did have to amend this soil we got clay soil! I hait it in some things! So this year We are going with containers, not a raised bed but, big containers with GOOD soil NOT clay! Thank you for sharing, God bless.

[LaurieChistine]

I prefer hard neck simply because my husband really loves the scapes fresh.

[nickthegardener.]

Great video, i watch Charles Dowding and he says theres no need to braoad fork in no dig beds as it breaks the fungal hyphae. Ive just planted my garlic with mychorizal fungi powder for the first time in my no dig bed, excited to see if the mychorizal fungi makes a difference.👍🤠

[spacial]

Really interesting and informative. Love your homestead. I live in a city in Europe, which couldn't be more different!
