How to Plant and Grow Garlic in Containers and Raised Beds

In this video I'll give you a few simple tips on growing garlic in containers, raised beds or in the ground.

Easiest way to grow garlic is around your fruit trees or garden perimeter. Their sulfur content roots in the soil and the smell chases away slugs, snails, flies, etc keeping the fruit trees and garden vegs/herbs safe.

The scapes are actually VERY STRONG tasting- stronger than the garlic cloves themselves - even.. A lot of people make pesto out of them and to calm down the biting flavor, they par boil them for 30 seconds. I've done that and it helps a lot. Also, the type of garlic you plant is not a hard and fast rule. I'm in the south and have planted garlic as late as late November ( our ground doesn't freeze until maybe January if it freezes at all... and I've planted both hardneck and softneck successfully. Each year was around 100 cloves and give or take a dozen or so...produced the same number of bulbs.. All the cloves I planted grew into nice bulbs. Last year some were giant sized... and the hardnecks grew nice scapes a few weeks before I harvested the bulbs. The nice thing about growing softneck garlic is that they keep a few months longer than hardneck garlic does. Keene Garlic recommends soaking the cloves in two different solutions that they recommend on their website. I ALWAYS pre-soak my garlic cloves. I HIGHLY recommend checking their site out. They really know garlic. Garlic is all they do..

I needed this video! I love garlic. Had wild garlic growing in the backyard and used the snapes for cooking. Delicious! Can't wait for the harvest in June! Happy Halloween!

HA! I just finished watching your vid on growing garlic from last year and now I find this one. Thanks.

I planted all my garlic today. Elephant, German Extra Hardy, Siberian Red and experimenting with some different organic store bought. About 100 in total. My wife tells me I planted way too many garlic and she needs more onions than garlic. I'm trying to over winter some onions, to get a head start. Hoping to surprise her with an early onion harvest. Virginia, zone 7A.

I finally got around to Growing some garlic for the first time, I threw together some basic boards from Home Depot at the time as that's what I had available and planted nine of them they all seem to be growing at this point and I'm excited to see how it goes!

I just found your channel and I like it. I'm going to be watching more of your videos as well.

I am yet to plant my garlic too but I can't decide where to place the bed. It's probably going to be a temporary one. Great video Brian! 🤗🤗

I just planted my garlic yesterday. I didn't know it would take so long to harvest.
June seems like a long way off.
Guess I'll need to be patient.
Thanks for the tips

Thanks for the content!! I was needing this. I bought some giant garlic and have been procrastinating because I was unsure of the process. I have grown a garden all my life but never have grown garlic.

[sandraoconnor]

I really needed this, thanks so much!!

Great video. Just don't forget to add about 2 inches of mulch. Especially in warmer areas like zone 9 and 10 where the top inches of soil dry up real easy. Mulch will also protect your garlic in cooler zones that freeze.
