Welcome to Auxhart Gardening! I’m Rachel, a small-scale southern gardener growing near Clemson, SC, zone 7b. I mainly garden in-ground, with containers as secondary production spaces.

Knowing where your food comes from is powerful, and empowering, and I believe we can change the world through gardening education.

The agricultural system is broken; we’ve monocultured nearly every major crop, forcing the use of chemical pesticides and inorganic fertilizers to maintain large-scale food production. I believe there’s a better way.

By teaching people to rely on themselves, even just a little, for their food supply, we might be able to create some breathing room for our strained food system, allowing for change to start happening.

By educating people about where food comes from and how to grow it, we can raise awareness about our broken agricultural system and form a community that understands how to fix it.

By forming a community, we can move toward creating real change in the world.

My goal is to educate; yes you can grow food, yes you can do it without chemicals, yes you can do it in your backyard or on your windowsill. And yes, that can make a difference in the world.

My friend sent me this video because of the cats lol thanks for the garlic info!

Another great video! On two different occasions, I purchased two NESCO dehydrators 2nd hand for $20 each and I love them. Their simplicity of operation is so useful and economical. Additionally, I purchased extra trays and run both units simultaneously drying my home grown herbs, onion greens (resulting in the most delicious green onion powder you can imagine), zest powder from lemon peels, dried lemon slices, peppers for powder, and celery leaves to make celery powder and celery salt, all home grown -- plus so much more! I encourage you to seek out a dehydrator. The units I purchased were in the box and had hardly been used. I run the trays through the dishwasher periodically, and can use up to 12 round trays per unit. They run quietly around the clock and are so much more economical to use than an oven. Continued success with your channel!

Thank you so much for the info regarding the garlic turning blue in vinegar, and also the tip on keeping a towel in the oven door. I tried drying onions in my oven and it took 3 days cuz I kept the oven door closed the whole time 🫠

I bought a 2lb bucket of peeled garlic. Thanks to you it won't go to waste!
Also, after watching this video, I must plant a whole bunch of garlic this fall, now that I know the ways to preserve a ton of it!
Thanks!

I have some garlic growing in my garden at the moment so thank you Rachel for the ideas on how to store it 🐱 😻 Thank you to your cats for the great back ground entertainment 🤣 I had to rewind the video in one part cause I was watching them haha.... they are adorable. Also when the video started the very first thing I noticed was the board your Dad had beautiful.

You could find space for an inexpensive dehydrator. Does your PO Box hold oversized packages?

Great video! You can also ferment your garlic in salt water which is very easy and produces beneficial bacteria (so good for the gut).

It’s funny I saw your black cat wanting to go out of the door exactly while my black cat too is doing the same thing 😂

My son and his wife grow Organic garlic and we use a lot of garlic when we cook dinner. I just got my first delivery and I only kept two large bulbs. The rest was a gift to the the person next door. I watched so they know how to keep it fresh when they order a large box.
I watched one video before yours. They broke it up and put cold white vinegar in the jar. Why did you boil yours and they didn’t? Does it make a difference? Thank you.

Came for the garlic, stayed for the cats.

I like the idea of garlic stored in vinegar. have plenty of powdered garlic. thanks so much. 😊

What variety did you grow? I had good luck with the Persian Star here in VA, expanding this year, added Music and Elephant, along with propagating most of last years crop. Dehydrator took 8 hrs at 125 to dry enough to grind. There is no comparison to store bought, most ground garlics say from China too boot.

Can I let the kettle Can I let the vinegar cool down before I pour it into the glass jar?

eBroncos

Wow I’m definitely going to have to try these methods! Fantastic ideas.

Also your cats are super adorable.

Awesome! Thanks for all the great info! We are going to pickle some garlic now!

I must say, a silicone garlic pealer will peal dozens of cloves of garlic in seconds! We love ours and for $4 on amazon you can gel two!!
