Harvesting and Curing GARLIC for LONG-TERM Storage
We grow and store a year’s worth of garlic- no root cellar needed! Here in my zone 4 Wisconsin climate, garlic is planted in fall and overwinters in the ground. We harvest it at the end of July, store it and eat it fresh all year until the following year’s harvest.

I’m a first time garlic harvester. This helped me. Quick and easy to understand tutorial. Much appreciated.

@wholefedhomestead Месяц назад

Glad it was helpful!

Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise, and exactly what I needed. Thank you! Earned a sub.

@gillainey6053 3 дня назад

for storage we use the legs cut from nylon stockings. Place about 6 heads and knot the stocking twice, add another 6 heads and follow the double knotting till you run out of room. the reason for the two knots between groups is that you can cut between the knots, and everything is still contained in the nylons. Works well to hang the garlic in a unheated storage area under the stairs.

@gillainey6053 3 дня назад

In addition, at the end of their storage "life" when they are a bit dried and wrinkled, take the cloves, skin, cut up to a uniform size and dehydrate in a low oven or dehydrator. Use a blade type coffee grinder to find the dehydrated chips to your own garlic powder. Works great and nothing is thrown out.

Just noticed in the comment below my previous post that they use the ground leaves. I have never tried that as I don't generally remove the leaves while drying. The scapes however are excellent and definitely recommend using those in cooking.

@falfield Месяц назад

A nice clear, fluent and pertinent commentary - congratulations on avoiding teenage-speak. I like - and am envious of - your drying arrangement. I wonder if Wisconsin has a less humid climate - here in Bristol, UK (40in annual rainfall, Zone 9b equivalent) it nearly always takes longer drying - after 2 weeks the outside layer will be papery, but the inner layers of the stem are still very juicy.

I'm so glad I just found your channel! I'm in zone 5 eastern Colorado, this year the grasshopper plague has absolutely destroyed my garden, even in the greenhouse, it's all a disaster except for my garlic! I'm interested that you grow softneck as well as hardneck, here the softnecks just don't get enough something, sun or what I don't know. You channel is great and thank you for the great videography and growing guide! Do you fertilize your garlic?

@wholefedhomestead 15 дней назад

Thanks so much for your kind words! We don't fertilize, no. I heard the grasshoppers have been awful this year, ugh.

@MrJaxparadize 6 дней назад

heads up, you can grind the leaves and use them as powder garlic leaves. It's not as strong as the cloves so it will give you a light garlic taste. No doubt, you will taste the garlic. You can also eat them while they are still green. great for soups.

@amyheath8261 День назад

The green leaves or the dead ones?

@MrJaxparadize День назад

@@amyheath8261 both. When you dry the leaves, they look dead. Once brown, nice and dry, grind them down with a grinder, I just finished doing some. They are a tad more fluffy than the garlic powder. The leaves are not as strong as the cloves but nonetheless, you will still taste the garlic, just not as potent which in some cases it’s good! Make sure they are completely dry because even if a tiny bit moist it will not grind them to their smallest form. I made that mistake a couple days ago. You can use the green leaves for fresh garlic flavor. You can cut them up, put them in a jar and shove them in the fridge. Won’t last as long as the dry powdered onces but you will have it really fresh, and you will taste it stronger than the powdered garlic leaves. Again, cloves are strongest for flavor! 😁

@amyheath8261 12 часов назад

@@MrJaxparadizethank you. I just pulled up my garlic yesterday and was wondering if I could use the leaves. Once they’re fully dry I will!

@MrJaxparadize 7 часов назад

@@amyheath8261 I will say that when they’re green, you can’t taste it really strong. Again, not as strong as the cloves but it’s a good competitor! 👍🏽

Great tutorial, very clear plus I saw many mistakes I've been making! I'm looking forward to a better stored crop now. I cut most of my scapes but missed a few. What are good curing practices and uses for the bulbils if not needed for planting? Thank you!

What types of garlic do you grow? And a good recommendation on where to order to start a garlic rotation?

@wholefedhomestead Год назад

We grow quite a few but my favorite is Majestic. Most I got from a friend, sorry.

@Susan-mo9mr Месяц назад

Hi, thanks. question, do you ever use some of the leaves for cooking?

@wholefedhomestead Месяц назад

No, that would take energy away from the bulb to take the leaves.

@payne7028 Месяц назад

Closet in the house? Im wondering if they draw anyone in for snacking over winter? Great to see gardening tips from someone near our zone thanks!!

@absolutemalmaute9592 Год назад

This is so simple! I think IL is zone 5. What do recommend for planting here? I’m new to gardening but I have large 72in raised cedar beds I made for this year. Did you hAbe special fertilizer or anything to keep pests off that is organic?

@payne7028 Месяц назад

Im in zone 5 as well. Once the garlic is planted in the fall, I have had great success covering them with shredded dead leaves. We tried numerous coverings but for some reason the dead leaves are the garlics favorite winter blanket 😊 I may fertilize once in the late spring with any organic fertilizer you like. Not many pests go near garlic or onions, so if you can, you may want to companion plant as well knowing that!! Best of Luck!! 🎉

@4WorldPeace2 8 месяцев назад

What is your watering method, how many days per week do you water and what quantity of water (by the gallon) per 10' row of garlic planted 6" apart?

@wholefedhomestead 8 месяцев назад

We never water- it typically rains here enough.

@pinecone_99 Год назад

How do you decide which ones are used for seed?

@wholefedhomestead Год назад

The biggest bulbs are saved for seed.

@akarmenia1 Месяц назад

What time of year do the leaves normally start to die? I just pulled some that looked ready (it's May 30) and they had no bulbs at all.

@wholefedhomestead Месяц назад

That really depends on where you live but for me in Wisconsin we harvest early August.

@NordicaTundra 27 дней назад

I'm in zone 7b. Mountains of VA. I start them beginning of Nov and I just harvested them yesterday June 8th when half the leaves were brown. I got medium sized hard neck bulbs.

Can you wash it after you harvest it just before drying it or is it like potatoes and needs to keep its protective layer?

SPADE not SHOVEL

@peterwhelan6144 Месяц назад

I must admit I don’t know the finer details in America , however, here in Australia , the implement he was digging the garlic up with would be called a shovel - a spade is normally a short handled “ shovel “ . If that is not the case in America , perhaps the lady is Australian .
