In today's video I am showing you how my family and I plant garlic from start to finish. The varieties of hard-neck garlic we plant are German White and Italian Purple.
I'm in SE Ohio. I planted my garlic in mid-october last year... then we had one of the warmest Novembers on record. So going into winter, I had garlic with 2"-3" tops coming up out of the ground. So far it's looking ok, but only time will tell how good it's going to trun off.
Hey Logan put a big smile on my face got bell 🔔notification from your video channel I'm relaxing and enjoying watching your Awesome video keep it Up Logan Ur the Best Redgs 🇨🇦
Hmmm... Garlic i love the smell of it specially when it is being sauted with other spices. Love to eat garlic but you will get garlic breath. It takes alot of patience doing it. Just stay safe always.
Thanks for sharing this step! Your garlic harvest inspired me to look into it more. 12,000...I like how you are growing a little more each year, not going crazy. Is it all one variety? Great, clear style Logan, I applaud you!
Another great video. Like how you explain how to plant the garlic. I have some planted in a small patch. Was glade to hear you say can cover with leaves cause that's what I use. Makes great mulch in the spring. I will be looking forward to more videos on growing garlic. Y'all stay safe and good luck.
Thanks for sharing; great shots of different views of setting out operation. I always thought it took 2 full years to grow. But guess if you plant in fall and harvest the next fall that can be called 2 years. From planters point they were working fast setting out the cloves.
I always like to watch how others are doing it, each to their own I suppose. I grow a my way and it works for me. I plant in raised beds mulched with straw and use a simple mechanical planter. I have 10,000 plants on a plot around 400m2 that is only 25 per m2. depending on the size of the planting material have it as dense as 70 per m2. Timing for planting is also not understood. Garlic needs about 90 to 150 days to grow, planting in fall all it is really doing is nothing, it will start to grow as long as the ground temp is above 5 degrees when it goes below this it will remain inactive. Through out the early spring it will start and stop growing. I planting cloves as late as 9 May to prove I can grow a bulb in 90 days already after a month it has about 5 leaves and some are 18 inches long. Ideally if it would be possible would plant hardneck garlics in the spring, but the cost of storage is prohibitive, and of course the weather guarante, the less time in the ground the less likely it is to get diseased or pest damage. I your doing it commercially you need to look at your technique because all I see is ineffieciency and time wasted.
Hey, great video and thanks for sharing! I grew up near Wyalusing in Bradford County, and moved to TN to start a little farm. Could you tell me a little bit more about the planter you used here? What is the make and model, and do you think it's the best thing you could use for planting garlic?
About the canning or bottling thing, maybe you could hire partimer/retired ladiess who can cook and bottle home made tomato sauce, pickle peppers and cucumbers. Tomatoes need not be perfect when made into sauces. Good luck to your bottling plant and God bless to you and youur family
Hi Logan, Great video!!! I am trying to plan some garlic this year. Can you tell me where I can buy some garlic bulbs or do you sell them? Thanks, Duke
We sell them at our farm market on route 93 in Nescopeck Pennsylvania. Other than that I am unsure of the seed, since we have been doing it for a long time now we use our own bulbs every year. Hope this helps!
Question on the Yanmar. Is that original JD paint on gray market Yannie? I have saw pictures of them coming off the same assembly line together but never this cross paint configuration Nice BTW
How or where do you sell your garlic? I'm looking at a much smaller plot, but would like to know the business end. Do you sell it to grocery stores or just farmer's market....bulk sales? I have grown garlic successfully in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but I worry if I grow a lot, how will I sell it? --- I can do canning and other additional things like garlic butters or what not for revenue as well.
I didn't see, it was 11,000...? Do you happen to show footage anywhere of digging your recent harvest by any chance? I don't see it on your channel, thought I might ask. Thank you!
I only have small personal garden experience, but I buy jumbo sized garlic for planting (bigger cloves = bigger garlic heads). I will split them out and only plant the largest pieces (~5 to 6 cloves) and keep the rest for pickling or fresh eating. So if I have 100% success, I am getting x5 or x6 yield for every clove I plant, which still leaves me plenty next season to plant (largest cloves) and more than plenty to eat (med and small cloves).
