GARLIC is one of my favourite crops to grow, especially for FLAVOUR when it comes to self sufficiency! In this video I share 8 Garlic PLANTING TIPS and methods that may help to REDUCE the chance of your precious crop getting RUST and help you to grow GREAT Garlic.
We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest - Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible, where we are completely off grid.
Our food growing journey began together in 2017 when we created our first No dig lasagne bed. Every year we grow more and more and now we are currently around 60-70% self sufficient in our food needs.
Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible.
In our videos you can follow our journey as we share our experiences and what we get up to at Freedom Forest.

I’d have never thought the mustard would germinate on top of the wood chip. What a fantastic idea. Also I normally wait a bit but after watching this I’m going to plant earlier!!!

@freedomforestlife 6 дней назад

Cool isn't it about the mustard - Dan was convinced it wouldn't germinate - Love breaking 'traditional' gardening rules 🙌 Happy planting - all the best for a great garlic year. Appreciate you watching and commenting too 🙏✌️🌿

Love the tip about wood chips, makes a lot of sense...,! Just one thing that is important: I think whether you should plant them early - or as late as possible - really depends on how cold winters get where you live (though wood chips might really help there). The same thing that is a benefit for you - getting early growth - is the thing that would take them out here. At least that's what I have always heard - in fact had never heard anyone say plant them early before 😮

Hey Simon, good point for sure about the winter, hardneck garlic is pretty tough though and will overwinter seriously harsh conditions I believe. Woodchip defo helps to keep the soil warm and fed though 👍 Sorry if I've asked before, but where abouts in the world are you? always great to know and learn from others experience 💚 Thanks for watching/commenting as always 🙏✌️🌿

Hello from central France. I got my garlic in last weekend, the 29th sept. The majority in my poly tunnel, as i tried this last year, and got better results than outside.

@freedomforestlife 6 дней назад

Hi Paul, I excited to be trying some in the polytunnel this year for sure, bulbs were much smaller than normal last year having rust - still fine and more than enough for eating but I figure even if I just grow enough in the tunnel for next years seed, hopefully they will be bigger from in their with less chance of rust, so will make for best seed next yr 🙌 thanks for sharing your experience with this too 🙏💚✌️🌿

I love to grow Garlic and Onions😊 Your planting methods to me seem correct over a cold winter, which the method of planting cover crop over the bark which should terminate its self after a frost😊

I love garlic too! :) It was my second year of planting it. Because of the wet spring and early summer I also had problems with rust, so I had to harvest it in the beginning of July. I am very grateful that the garlic produced even small bulbs (is that the right word?) although he suffered also from the snails this year...... Many greetings from Göttingen in Germany. I really love your videos!

@freedomforestlife 6 дней назад

Hi great to have you joining us from Germany and so pleased you are enjoying our videos 🙏 A small crop is better than no crop indeed. Every year can be so different depending on the weather conditions. Some years we are lucky, others can be more challenging for sure! Hope you get a bigger harvest next year. Thanks for watching & commenting 💚✌️🌿

I have been having a multi-year battle against Garlic Rust, not helped by allotment neighbours being pickled in the stuff, but this year I think I did it (although I was beaten by White Rot) I planted into bottom less tubes (sewage or water pipe cut up?) and used fresh soil and compost to fill - you can see this in my June video if it of any interest as I cannot explain very well. This seemed to help against the Rust a lot. I can confirm that Garlic grown in a Polytunnel will also stay largely free of Rust as well. I was very surprised that you planted in the same bed as I felt that Rust spores last in the soil for a long time. I hope I am wrong and time will tell on that theory. I find adding woodchips as a mulch very intreging and will try this myself. Great video thanks.

I have tried everything to grow Garlic i. Dumfries and Galloway with no success, I will combine some of your ideas with some ideas I saw that people were using in Canada and try again 😊

Hi, glad you enjoyed the vid, I will check out your video too - its so interesting finding what works isn't it, and this will of course differ from garden to garden with different environments. We've used/gardening with woodchips a lots over the years (which I know is controversial with some) and find them extemely beneficial in most uses, we've only really made adaptations to our original methods to allow for more speed when succession planting over the years. I'll drop some links in where we;ve shared more about them our methods in the past. It will be super interesting to see the results of our garlic if we have a much drier year - as if very wet again it will be hard to tell if soil or environmental moreso, I do feel with most garden 'issues' that it is also largely down to the health and strength of each plant for their level of resistance and thus how healthy your soil is ... we see a great example of this most years when 2 courgettes plants grow side by side for example, one is covered in powdery mildew, whilst its neighbour is not. Its so interesting experiementing and pushes the boundries of 'traditional' methods 💚✌️🌿 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NPtATCwfXos.html 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ksfd2BKeTu4.html 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EfZt0mPMvuQ.html

Love your channel and content! What are those amazing tall purple plants with the orange flowers behind you? Watching from New Zealand :)

@welsh_vegan_allotment_holder 2 дня назад

Is the woodchip fresh or rotted down somewhat? I get poor results up my allotment but no problem with rust at all in my garden. I'm persisting with the allotment still though and planted half there and half in the garden.

@freedomforestlife 2 дня назад

Hi, Thats a great idea sowing some in each place, great way to safe guard. The woodchips we use are pretty well rotted - we find that best for when we use directly on the beds. Thanks for watching 💚✌️🌿

@welsh_vegan_allotment_holder День назад

@@freedomforestlife we get a fair bit of wood chip up the allotment so I might chuck a load in a separate compost bay to use for mulch once it's rotted. Would you leave it for about a year or so? 👍🏻

@freedomforestlife 10 часов назад

I definitly would do that if you have good access to woodchips - Well rotted ones are always AWESOME to run through you compost for the carbon percentage - over time even on their own they make very nice loose compost. Around 1 yr old or so is idea if using direct as a mulch. Its a great natural resouce - especially if you can get them dropped off for free 🙌

I have rust on my garlic every year (hello from Ireland🌧) and im not sure why i should do anything about it... Im growing for food not for pretty, sure it looks unsightly but it doesnt affect neither the flavour nor the storage-ability of the edible part. It only affects the leaves not the bulb so why bother... 🤷

@freedomforestlife 6 дней назад

Hi, great perspective 🙌 I agree with all of those things too - only trouble with rust and defo what I noticed this last year, is that the earlier the rust sets in, the smaller your crop will be, my bulbs and cloves were about half the size of normal with rust, where the oranging of the leaves slowly reduces photosynthesis! So thats why I'm trying to reduce it ... I should imagine its hard to avoid in the Irish climate though. Thanks for watching & commenting as always 🙏✌️🌿

I have noticed from a few of your videos that you don’t do crop rotation… if you’ve had issues with rust I would have chosen a new location… how come you don’t rotate..?

@freedomforestlife 6 дней назад

Hi, we don't always rotate because i feel that if you can provide healthy soil for your plants they will have better resilience, regardless.. also rust and things like blight etc, if it is a bad year due to dampness for example, will be in the environment regardless of which bed you plant in. We like pushing the boundries and trying these kind of theories out. If rust is bad again in this bed, maybe I'll relocate next year, hard to gauge though unless weather is similar again. I've grown garlic, onions or leeks in pretty much every bed in recent years, as we grow a lot of Alliums in this area, so crop rotation isn;t always practical/possible, especially for small scale growers, hence focusing on soil health more so 💚 Great questions - appreciate you watching & asking ✌️🌿
