Growing Garlic In Containers - The Definitive Guide

Container Garlic. Has there ever been a more perfect crop to grow in pots or containers? As a perfectly predictable crop, garlic is so well-suited to container growing that once you give it a try, you may never grow it any other way!

Today, let's talk about everything we need to know to grow garlic in containers successfully. There are some issues we need to look at when growing in smaller setups such as exposure and drainage...but nothing we can't solve.

If you’re a Garlic aficionado and can’t get enough, here’s all the other Garlic videos in my library:

2022 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

I like the way you do these videos. No loud music, no messing around, just good information. thank you so much

[powermovement]

I have never had success in growing garlic. After watching your video I can see how I was doing it all wrong! Thanks for such an excellent video with easy to follow instructions. ❤😊

[kristenkoepping]

I wasn't planning to plant garlic, but now I see I have sufficient containers, so will give it a shot. Thanks for this video. You have such a nice way of showing the way.

I like how you explain things and it’s not boring. I’ve been through so many videos trying to help me start my garden but i get bored and turn to another channel. This is the third video of yours I’ve watched to completion. Plus you made me want to grow garlic when i wasn’t planning to. Just gained a follower!

Best garlic growing video I have seen yet. Very thorough! Would love to see you do a video on growing shallots in containers.

Hello sir. As a northerner who is in zone 5b, my tip for container garlics in colder climates is to bring them into your garage from late fall until late winter when the temps start creeping up toward spring and they'll grow just fine.

When I have a plant that doesn't need a deep pot, I fold over the top edge of a fabric part, reducing the height/depth a few inches. If I later decide I need a deeper pot, I just unfold the edge. An extra benefit is it provides a good 'handle' for moving the pot, more durable than many actual handles.

I love watching these tutorials on growing vege’s. They are straight forward without a lot of music.

Excellent, no fuss, no rubbish guide to Garlic. Just superb information. Thank you very much.

[lindakemer]

This was a great tutorial. I was wanting to try container planting this year. Thank you!

[ildikovt]

This will be my first time growing garlic in central VT (zone 5). Did not think about containers, but I might try that along with planting some in my raised beds. This was most helpful, thank you!

The dry leaves you just bent makes a beautiful yellow tea

Very cool video. Well laid out and informative. Has a certain 80's-90's PBS charm to it too.

Experimenting with some over winter potatoes soon. After watching this, I'll have to plant a few containers of garlic, seeing as the time is coming up as well! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

Absolutely terrific series Jeff !! I can hardly wait to get my cloves in the ground. It's a bit early here in Southern Ontario 'cause we've had some crazy fluctuations in temperatures here. Still, I'm looking forward to implementing your tips for growing a fantabulous crop of garlic. Thanks so much buddy 👍

[amandasshadow]

Thank you sooo much! I live in zone 8a and am a first year gardener. I need all the advice I can get! haha! I plan on planting some garlic today and was searching for some tips. I honestly think this is the only video I will have to watch. If I remember to do it, I'll update with how it all turns aout! I am subscribing to you now. Have a lovely day!

Glad this can be done in the later months. We use a ton of garlic so growing our own seems like a great idea. We don't usually get too cold in SE Texas so there's never really a risk of freezing them to death. Hopefully gets just cold enough to get them started. Its usually pretty warm here til maybe a week or two in February.

[cherigreen]

Gosh, I’m glad I came across this video. I would to love to have fresh garlic! This is a really well done video and I agree about no music, usually people blast it between talking. Great video! 😊

[rosezingleman]

I followed your instructions last year, and had an excellent crop.

[michellen]

Thank you for this lesson on container garlic growing….I’ve always wanted to do this but was afraid, you made this seem easy peezy.
