How To Grow GARLIC [COMPLETE GUIDE]

This video is a complete guide on how to grow garlic, including my TOP 5 TIPS for garlic growing success! Growing garlic is easy because it is adaptable to a wide range of climates, some varieties can tolerate extreme cold, garlic is relatively pest-free and it takes up little space in your garden.

Success when planting garlic is all about timing your planting and selecting whether you should be growing softneck garlic, growing hardneck garlic or both depending on your climate. While most gardeners should be planting garlic in the fall, we discuss whether you should be planting fall garlic or planting spring garlic based on your location, and I show you how to grow garlic from cloves of seed garlic.

Very clear, structured, and important information you are providing. Thank you so much for these videos. I'm so very tired of watching other gardener you-tube channels spend 10 mins on garden tours and showing off, while only giving a few mins of jumbled directions and info. You are helping many people get started and passing along useful knowledge. Really cannot express how grateful we are to have this sort of content. Great job.

Thank you for your time and knowledge, it's seriously saving my wife and I so much time and headache. We're beginners and I just happened to stumble on your channel, but now I watch carefully and absorb everything.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial on growing garlic. I’m in zone 10a and planted four varieties last week, Inchellium, Chesnock Red, Music and Sicilian Artichoke. Music is my favorite, large cloves and great for roasting. Chesnock Red is pungent and potent and is my go to for pasta sauces. I follow your method to a tee except I soak the cloves overnight in water with a teaspoon of 20-20-20 water soluble fertilizer and a 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (to raise the pH) followed by a five minute soak in a mild Hydrogen Peroxide solution (to kill any fungus or other pathogens). I don’t know if that helps but I got the tip from a garlic grower in Gilroy, CA a number of years ago and just do it as a matter of course. You are spot on regarding hard neck vs soft neck. I get larger heads and much better production from soft neck varieties. Thanks again for the very informative video. I’m enjoying your channel and learn something with every post.

And once again, you have taught me so much I never knew. Can't wait till November to plant my garlic. Look forward to tasting more delicious flavors. Happy gardening! Thank you!

Doing some research and found this video. I found a garlic grower about an hour north of me that has a farm of nothing but garlic and will sell seed bulbs shortly.

1st time planting garlic, so I will probably try store garlic. Do you plant companion plants at the the same time? Great videos. I am happy that we are in same zone

[julienaturegrowerstv]

Informative video. Thanks for sharing. I'll be planting garlic in a few days. Thanks for the tips

Been trying to grow garlic on an off. Your video is quite complete for me. Excellent details. I have to grow them in pots though . Is there a minimum size pot you would recommend if i grow them in pots ?

I’m planting garlic for the first time here in Middle TN - zone 7b. I purchased 4 lbs of beautiful organic seed bulbs and ready to go into my 2x6 raised beds. What is your opinion on the various pre soaking treatments for the bulbs prior to planting … alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, mineral oil, kelp meal, baking soda, fish emulsion, humid acid … these are some of the ingredients I’ve seen used 🤔 Thanks - you are my go-to gardener!

[titainsiangslifeinthephili]

I've learned a lot. Thank you sir.

[comfortablynumb]

I’m interplanting my garlic 🧄 with my tomatoes 🍅 this year. In Florida 9b…. Wish me luck 🍀!

[brittbritt]

So glad I found your channel it helps me feel more confident in starting my garden! Such great info love the detail! What company do you recommend buying garlic from. I am zone 5 going to try some soft neck and then hardneck in nov

[londonpickering]

Great information. Thank you for taking the time to post

[davannhuynh]

You're so informative, thank you!

[michellestanley]

Is it worthwhile to plant garlic now just for the greens and protection for tomatoes? Then replanting in Fall? I recently moved to East TN so just starting my garden.

[delmadehoyos]

Thank you so much....your gardening tips are easy to follow. I really like your presentation.

[jeffreyjann]

Thank you... great information in this video...

[choungchiv]

Can we see the results of these plantings? What I want to know is if it is true that the bigger clove grows bigger bulb of garlic?
