How to plant garlic

To make garlic planting easy soil should be well prepared first, placing your garlic cloves at the right spacings and planting them the right distance below the soil can help to ensure your garlic will grow well.

9 years ago today I was 13 and watched this video, I was living off grid out on my Maori Land. Now here I am 22 years of age showing my two year old this same video. Thank you!

For whatever reason, British people seem to explain things very precisely and very quickly. I appreciate that.

7 years later in 2020 I'm finding this. Decades of gardening later, I'm now ready to plant and grow garlic so thank you very much for this video.

Planting my first crop of garlic in about half an hour, thanks for the info. Had no idea how to plant it but had kind of figured out which end was up.

I was cooking and noticed about half my garlic was sprouting. So used half for cooking and decided to use 5 good sprouting clovess for planting, and I'm pleased I done it correctly before watching this.
I had a long planter, drilled some holes in the bottom for drainage. Put compost in loosely, placed the cloves in the planter, spread apart Put water over then, put a layer of compost over covering the green shoots, then watered again. Pretty much the same way I plant potatoes.

Yes! Thank you for being specific and direct while demonstrating at the same time. I've got green shoots growing out of one of my garlic cloves that I bought from the store. I'm planting it now.

Thank you. You have given a wonderful example of how to produce a brilliant video free of numbing prolonged introductions, needless repetitions and irrelevancies. But the magic lies in your verbal skills. You are gifted teacher!

Good advice and quality video for southern hemispherians! good to know about thinning the flowers off for better tasting garlic . cheers!

So glad I found this information! Took the mystery out of it! Planting some today here in Maine. We'll see what happen! 👍🙋‍♀️

We're so excited, for our first time planting garlic. My husband started 8 and is planning on planting 8 more!

Great, informative video. I've grown garlic in raised beds for years. I grow a hardneck variety called Russian Red. When I first started growing garlic I sought out information as to how to cultivate the crop. At the time the "prevailing wisdom" was to remove the scapes to increase my yield.

I decide to test this assumption by planting my garlic in two separate beds. In one bed, I removed the scapes and in the second I left them attached. At harvest time, I measured the yield of each bed. There was no significant difference. My conclusion is that the only reason to remove the scapes is if you plan to use them,

I use one hand to plant. I grab the clove by the point with my thumb and first and second finger. I just press the clove into the soil up to about the second knuckle and let go. The dimple left disappears after the first rain. Just see what depth you need and watch your hand to do them all the same. In my other hand I hold a garden rake, which I lean on so that I don't have to step or kneel in the planting area. I notice that you also lay the cloves out on top of the ground first, so that you can make small spacing corrections before you stick them in the soil. I have beds about the width of yours, and I like to plant a wide strip of garlic or onions down the middle, and leave room near the aisles on both sides for crops that I will want to get to repeatedly, like lettuce, spinach, beets, etc. That way I don't have to disturb the garlic much until harvest. You can still reach in for the occasional weed if you have to.

[melgo]

Thank you for this. Very good instructions & clear explanation. Really enjoyed your video. Mel from Australia 🙂

nice video tutorial and we use elephant garlic a lot here. Once the onions leaves shooting out very long we usually cut 4 inches from the bulb taking off the leaves so the bulb could grow much larger and we do not put the garlic too deep into the soil when first planting it. You have done nice job there with your garlic ;))

[nicolina]

This was so informative, clear, and enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

[MN-tfek]

easy to understand I have followed your instructions....cant wait for the harvest to see what I end up with. I am just learning to grow my own basic veggies....:)

[joiejoie]

I like the way you explain, you're doing it while explains and the camera..

[varijasharma]

I can finally plant garlic, I have a tulsi that used used be small and now it is monsoon and I realised that it has grown _Much_ bigger and tiny purple flowers have come from it.I realised that another pot has started to grow wild grass I now realised that it is great weather to plant something.
