I don't think they have any; they need low temps to head and divide/form cloves. i bet this method only grows "rounds" which may be where "Chinese Single Clove" garlic comes from. Garlic rounds look like a radish...
Step 1: Separate the garlic. Step2 : just place in the ground and water it. Step 3: Be happy that you didn't waste your time with some plastic bottles.
I've done both ways. Sprouting the bulbs initially in the plastic bottles reduces the chance of the bulbs drying out in arid soil, or rotting in too-wet soil. Also the bulbs germinate faster as shown in bottles above the water, than immersed from the start in dirt.
Looks like a waste of time to me. If you seperate them, plant in late October, they freeze Which trigger's the individual clove to seperate and produce a whole new bulb.
You can also plant garlic in the winter....put the bub in the ground, water, then cover with about 4" compost and leave until spring......best tasting garlic I have had! People in snow belts benefit because of the water released by the snow
If I had one thing I would do different, it would be to moisten the soil first before planting the bulbs so that they didnt dry to much at first planting. I mean this is honestly such a good rooting video, one of the best! I just think the transition would be better and leave that little chance at a bad start out. but brilliant!
I'm trying to figure out if snipping the tops off is actually a good idea or not. It looked to me like the ones that were unsnipped or less snipped did better than the more heavily snipped ones.
@@MyFiddlePlayer I know when I transplant leek the tops of the plant needs to be cut a bit, not sure it helps boost the production of bigger root system. Don't do that on the garlic, especially when the plant is so early on in the growth.
I sure wouldn’t expect much of a crop, was. That cement they were planting in? Lol, definitely lacking worms 😂 Stuffing that wad of roots into a little ball at a surface. I’m sure that turned out really well lol.
I know this video deals with using hydroponics to propergate and the plantlets are then planted out in dirt, and that is cool. But I gotta say it, full hydrophonaclly grow produce is the curse of the kitchen. Garlic taste like a mild bush onion, birdseye chillies with so little heat and flavour you may as well not bother adding them, water filled flavourless tomatoes,.....all of them crap and because they are high yeild, fast growing and uniform, have now invaded all of our supermarkets so it is now near impossible to by good dirt grown 'flavour full' food anymore. To develope 'flavour' garlic and chillies etc need to produce essential oils over a period of time. They only produce oils to help them survive by reducing dehydration in hotter drier climates. Sure you 'can' grow them in water, but then they won't need to expend energy developing these oils so they don't and you end up with lovely looking uniform garlic shaped objects. The cloves simply won't have that sweet, pungent, sticky, flavour packed oil that chefs and good cooks in the know are looking for. Same as chillies, unless the plant needs to protect itself from hot dry sunlight, it won't produce the heat and flavouring oils which that particular variety became famouse for. I'm so sick and tired of paying top dollar for hydro grown pretend food, and the worst of it is that its becoming near impossible to find the real stuff because stupid consumers only buy with their eyes.....Hydro is flavourless crap. Their selling you sub par rubbish people because it suits 'their' business model. Make some freakin noise ffs and stop buying it or you may as well just line up at a food trough like a cow every meal.
This was my first time watching and I am very excited about growing my own Ginger the information you gave was a very helpful. I would definitely be watching again
In short you're forcing the garlic to focus energy on growing roots. If you didn't it would spend it keeping the new growth alive at the cost of rooting which is what you want in this case since it's the most important need.

You can go ahead and plant those in soil as soon as you see the little roots coming out (day 1 or 2). You risk damaging the roots if they are long when you plant. If you plant day 1 or 2 the roots will grow into the soil. Less risk of damage. It would be interesting to see if it makes a difference.
@@whisperingwolf8217 appears my green onions live on water and orange juice supplements I have planned on getting soil for them but for now I replace the water every two days
Garlic is a powerful antioxidants, it helps fight infections, boost your immune system and helps with inflammatory diseases. Will try this at home. Thank you for sharing.
For a good garlic crop, use a biologically rich soil with plenty of rich compost, stay away from chemical fertilises, (organic fertilises, if used, use sparingly). I learnt this from experience. By the way, one does not need to start garlic this way as it will do well in good soil mix, however, it is a great way to start garlic before the growing season or before the crop in the garden plot is not yet finished, it gives you time to prepare for garlic planting. Have fun gardening. As for using "plastic bottles, I found this on the internet, ""Leaching concerns" PET and BPA plastics are the most common types of containers for water and other drinks. Both PET plastics and BPA plastics have been shown to leach over time. PET plastics tend to leach when exposed to realistic though extreme conditions, such as exposure to sunlight, heat and storage time" Not recommended for reuse of storing water for drinking. I doubt that there would be enough leaching, if any, over this short time to cause problems, especially when the water is replaced frequently.. This is one of the best videos for starting garlic that I have seen, it is like planting onion starts but this time it's garlic starts.
Yes, PET bottles are super scary. That's why milk comes in PET bottles. It's all part of a master plan to distribute hormone disruptors to American children, leading to gender confusion and reproductive difficulty. As a 14th degree Master Mason, I was instrumental in getting Red 40 (Allura Red AC in the EU) re-approved for use in foods, even after 17 countries had banned its use.
@@gurufams Thank you for the compliment, I looked it up "Being an introvert is a gift. The world has a need for people who go deeper, think before they act, and look at things in new ways. The world is ready for thoughtful, contemplative people who bring calm and wisdom to a room." Have a great day.
Many years ago, 25 years to be precise, I tried this method and they grew but were really tiny. It was quite embarrassing and everyone laughed and made fun of the tiny cloves. It was horrible, everyone mocked me and laughed at my tiny size. I felt ridiculed and vowed never to grow again. This video has given me the strength to try again one more time. Thanks.
@@lsophial have you tried it. I still have not tried it myself, please let me know if you have. Share your experience or growing it. Garlic is beautiful. It is my favourite. I like to eat it raw, and yet I also like to add it to various foodstuffs. Or just throw a few full cloves of it, skin on, into a roast and let it roast. Not only does it at flavor, but you can also eat the roasted garlic. It is beautiful. If I had some in my hand right now I would eat it. People think it gives you bad breath but it doesn't. Everyone should use it.
Have they manage to grow bigger ones so they give advice or they just need to pee on you soul? Few years ago i wanted to plant tomato on terrace. So, checked all and found seeds straight from homegrown tomato. Put it into soil on 5 places and waiting. Waiting. Slowly after few weeks something started growing. It run fast but had only 2 leaf. I was waiting and waiting till finally the flower started growing. And the flower was bigger and bigger went to some 5 inch in diameter. So, i planted tomato but got sunflower. Then i recall i left sunflower seeds for birds in the winter and they run with it all over the place. Next year i decided to buy ready made plants. Asked the guy i wanted small bush and small tomatoes. That is it, he said. So i planted those 2 plants. They started growing and growing and growing till it became quite sizeable 4x6 foot bushes. When i got the guy he told me: ya know, bee did that. Never surrender.
Do you cut them like he does or just plant them whole? Can I use garlic bought from the supermarket or is it treated with something to prevent it propagating?
@@Hindrenaline I've never cut mine. Just break apart the individual cloves and plant a few inches deep about the time of first snow or a little before (like first frost) in the fall. They need a cold period to form big bulbs.
@@Hindrenaline I've heard of people in warmer climates putting their bulbs in the fridge for a few weeks before planting to get the cold period. I've not tried it myself though.
The crate planters are Brilliant...I have some and did not know they could be used for planters! Great video....additional information on soil and spray you used and how long before harvest would be helpful....Excellent video, thank you! My husband lives on garlic, can't wait to try it!

I grow garlic each year only i just leave 4-5 that i buy from the shop to shoot on there own , once they have 2-3 inch shoots i put them out straight into the open ground . As long as its past frost time they always grow know problems at all and taste is amazing , you can pull them whenever you need them small , or leave to the end of the year for larger bulbs .
@@ttee6990 never tried that , i start them off in doors then put them out into the open grounds . you can grow them in pots , bags anywhere really , thanks .
I tried this, and you are right. Problem is that you do not grow garlic, only the green stems. The buds rot very fast also. NE ver had roots like that. Buds were rotten before roots came out good. Not worth it in my opinion.

Don't waste your time with this garbage. As a garlic grower it's far simpler. You sew your cloves in the fall, cover them in straw then forget them. The following summer you have a full harvest of huge bulbs. This is just a waste of time.
@@acolley2891 That's a nitrogen deficiency. Garlic is a heavy user of nitrogen in your garden so if you plant in the same place every year, you need to replenish it after each harvest. Easy mistake to make as there are no other visible signs and you don't see it till harvest.
@@antagonizerr Wait, so if I plant garlic & beets for winter, how do I add needed nightrogen? I heard planting flowers or beans, but what if come summer, I want to plant tomatoes & cucumbers in this space? We have limited space to plant anything & everything...

What is the benefit of doing this over just putting the cloves right into the soil? I’m in New Jersey, USA (zone 7a) and plant them in October. They usually sprout and put up green stalks before the weather gets cold, but I just cover them with straw and they stay like that until they start growing again in the spring. Harvest in July. Couldn’t be simpler.
@@gregtarris9057 In NJ we usually plant the garlic in the fall (October) and harvest it in the summer (July). I’ve never tried planting it in February. I don’t think it will work to plant it now.
@@lgrillo I'm in southern MO and we also plant garlic in the fall. However, the extension folks did a little research and found that garlic planted in early spring did just as well as garlic planted in the spring,with no significant loss of quantity. Maybe would also work in NJ???Try it!
This is great! Garlic is normally planted in the fall, yes? So about how long would these take to grow indoors until they can safely be transplanted outside?
Depends on the variety... softneck varieties gets planted in the spring, hardneck varieties in the fall. I see this as a great idea to get a head start on the planting season for the spring, using hardnecks, which have to be planted before the first frost. When you don't have the opportunity to plant in time, like I do, here in northwestern North Dakota, for the chill hours that the hardnecks require to sprout in the spring, this is the perfect solution. I just store my bulbs in the freezer, so they get the chill hours they need, over the winter. I can see how this would speed up the process. I'm going to give it a try here today. If the time lapse is correct on this video, it shouldn't take but 3 days to get the cloves ready to transplant into the ground, with a head start on the rootings. Think of it as transplanting onions.
