To make garlic planting easy soil should be well prepared first, placing your garlic cloves at the right spacings and planting them the right distance below the soil can help to ensure your garlic will grow well.
9 years ago today I was 13 and watched this video, I was living off grid out on my Maori Land. Now here I am 22 years of age showing my two year old this same video. Thank you!
#1 He's a New Zealander. #2 he says "plant the garlic on the shortest day of the year" (for him... he tells us June 31st). He lives in the southern hemisphere. So he sounds like a NW and lives in the southern hemisphere... prolly NZ??
I was cooking and noticed about half my garlic was sprouting. So used half for cooking and decided to use 5 good sprouting clovess for planting, and I'm pleased I done it correctly before watching this. I had a long planter, drilled some holes in the bottom for drainage. Put compost in loosely, placed the cloves in the planter, spread apart Put water over then, put a layer of compost over covering the green shoots, then watered again. Pretty much the same way I plant potatoes.
Thank you. You have given a wonderful example of how to produce a brilliant video free of numbing prolonged introductions, needless repetitions and irrelevancies. But the magic lies in your verbal skills. You are gifted teacher!
Yes! Thank you for being specific and direct while demonstrating at the same time. I've got green shoots growing out of one of my garlic cloves that I bought from the store. I'm planting it now.
Great, informative video. I've grown garlic in raised beds for years. I grow a hardneck variety called Russian Red. When I first started growing garlic I sought out information as to how to cultivate the crop. At the time the "prevailing wisdom" was to remove the scapes to increase my yield. I decide to test this assumption by planting my garlic in two separate beds. In one bed, I removed the scapes and in the second I left them attached. At harvest time, I measured the yield of each bed. There was no significant difference. My conclusion is that the only reason to remove the scapes is if you plan to use them,
We live on an industrial city in monterrey mexico and very close to the city there is a small town named candelaria in there is a garlc town all the fields are harvest of garlic in there you can walk beside the road and can smell the garlic even they made a lot of food and pastas of garlic bread ...have a nice day for all..
carlos g martinez garza I had no idea about that town, I'll watch videos about that, great to learn something new every day. I learned in a RU-vid video made by the Monterrey Jewish organization that Monterrey was founded by Jewish. Monterey means Monte del Rey and Nuevo Leon means Leon of Judah, also that the poncho was created in Monterey by Jewish people to disimulate the tallit, Monterrey is so blessed for sheltering the first born of the Lord, i assume they are called first born because they were the first ones on land been bien from Noah
@@Elisheva333 Nuevo Leon means "New Lion" and many cities in all of latin america (Mexico included) are named simply "Leon." It was named after the corresponding Spanish city of Leon. It was not founded by a Jew but by a Portugese conquistador named Alberto del Canto , who did not "found" but steal the land from the people who already lived there. The land already belonged to Chichimeca people, who considered him an enemy for good reason. He was a big advocate of slavery and owned many the original inhabitants of that land he "founded" even after slavery was abolished in Mexico. If you want to claim this man as yours, go right ahead, but why? As far as I know, conquistadors were all Catholic, though. There is a long history of Jewish people throughout Mexico, but it is only part of the rich tapestry, not taking away from the *first nations* Aztec, Maya, Nahua, and Mexica who truly founded our beautiful country. Please do not assume ownership of another's country and culture after some cursory research, it reeks of colonialism, which we already had to endure for centuries. Thank you!
@@Elisheva333 hon, give us the source plz. "candelaria" immed brought to mind MARIA CANDELARIA, a priceless mex blk&wht con Dolores Del Rio, as u may know
I use one hand to plant. I grab the clove by the point with my thumb and first and second finger. I just press the clove into the soil up to about the second knuckle and let go. The dimple left disappears after the first rain. Just see what depth you need and watch your hand to do them all the same. In my other hand I hold a garden rake, which I lean on so that I don't have to step or kneel in the planting area. I notice that you also lay the cloves out on top of the ground first, so that you can make small spacing corrections before you stick them in the soil. I have beds about the width of yours, and I like to plant a wide strip of garlic or onions down the middle, and leave room near the aisles on both sides for crops that I will want to get to repeatedly, like lettuce, spinach, beets, etc. That way I don't have to disturb the garlic much until harvest. You can still reach in for the occasional weed if you have to.
I can finally plant garlic,I have a tulsi that used used be small and now it is monsoon and I realised that it has grown _Much_ bigger and tiny purple flowers have come from it.I realised that another pot has started to grow wild grass I now realised that it is great weather to plant something. THIS VIDEO WAS HELPFUL THAN YOU!!!!! 😋🥰
Thanks for providing alternatives for the blood and bone fertilizer. I'm vegetarian but actually wouldn't be too fussy about fertilizer, but it is sort of hard to come by in my area and I do have a compost, so that was a great help.
easy to understand I have followed your instructions....cant wait for the harvest to see what I end up with. I am just learning to grow my own basic veggies....:)
nice video tutorial and we use elephant garlic a lot here. Once the onions leaves shooting out very long we usually cut 4 inches from the bulb taking off the leaves so the bulb could grow much larger and we do not put the garlic too deep into the soil when first planting it. You have done nice job there with your garlic ;))
That was clear and well explained thank you!I wish u did one on how to plant in pots for thise of us who dont have much space.I tried to find your website but cant find anything jn the bio.Thank you so much though.lovely.
This video is missing the most important ingredient namely; how to prepare the soil. Anybody can stick a clove of garlic in the ground, the secret is in the nutrition in the soil. More on this please. A local farmer here on Vancouver Island tells me adding a mulch of seaweed is very beneficial. Great idea I'm sure if you're close to the sea.
Thankyou quick and easy instructions and no waffling like a lot of videos I watched where they waffle on for a good 5 or 10mins before they even start.Your sound was good also.I am on a laptop and sound not brilliant on it but I could hear u ok.Thanks again
This is a great informative video. Thank you for sharing. I do have a question. I had garlic that had sprouted itself in my kitchen. I live in North Carolina in the US. Could I plant it outside now?
Excellent video. Thank you! Many people around the world will soon be growing their own garlic since COVID19 interrupted export of garlic out of China. From AU$1.80/500g bag, the price has jumped to AU$5/bag recently. Garlic will be out of stock before too long. I am going to grow my own now.
@@podgardening I totally agree with Drew Thorne. Almost everything I need to know about garlic in one concise video, I have a question. What is the distance between 2 plants in a row? 15-17 centimeters is ok for you? Or 10-12 ? I live in Russia, 100 miles south west from Moscow. Last fall (middle- October) when we had to plant garlic the top 2 centimeters of soil were frozen and i poked holes with a iron stick to get through at 4-5 cm depth. Then the bed was covered with fallen leaves about 5- 6 cm. The winters are here up to 30 degrees below zero. All survived with good harvest.
I live in Maine, the coldest state in the Lower 48. We plant our garlic about the second week on October. The sprout similar to tulips in the spring. Thank for a refresher!
Thank you. I had a organic bag of peeled garlic hoping it will grow. It was sprouting at the bottom. I’m worried they didn’t have the skins on we will see .
great video, we plants so.e in a coffee container and have just planted them in the garden. they are growing so well and my oldest had fun helping out. nice little job to do in the sun today.
Your soil looks gorgeous! We have clay soil here in TX; it's dreadful to garden with. We have to add so much to it to get anything to grow, sometimes not worth it to try to grow in the ground.
Kim Brady my yard had clay soil also. I researched a bit about what to augment it with and came up with gypson. To save money I scavenged pieces of dry wall (sheet rock) and broke it into small pieces then covered that with wood mulch. Moisture sent the gupson into the ground and broke down the mulch. I planted the same year, just not many plants because, of course the soil was still clay'ish, but every year after augmenting the soil improved noticeably.
Before adding any amendments like gypsum, get a soil test done at your local university Extension office. @Norskie Dreamer sounds like he has more acid soil. When I live our soil is generally alkaline and lacking in nitrogen, so we use different amendments - mostly our home-made compost. We don't use wood mulch because it takes a long time to break down and uses a lot of nitrogen as it decays. Wherever you live, keep in mind it takes about eight years or so years to make good soil. Start now!
Had old garlic in my cupboard all dried out. Stuck in a shallow dish with water so it would start to root. Only took a few days, Then planted, Next up is romaine lettuce stub
Hi I wanted to ask if the garlic stem is cut prematurely or if its healthy leaves are cut prematurely will it grow again? My grandpa accidentally mowed over my garden. Some of the stems suvived and some of the leaves were only cut but some have lost everything. My biggest one is only a stub left. This is my fiirst time gardening so I'd like to see what you'd say.
I just harvested one of mine and where the stem had split around 1/3 the way up there were 3 kind of mini bulbs growing in the stem. Thinking i will plant them too.
Thank you for the video. I am in ottawa, canada and planted some garlic in september last year. Before the first snow I had shoots comming out from almost all the cloves I planted. But after the snow melted this year half of the shoots have disappeared. Is it normal. Your help would be appreciated.
Youe plants should have been developing good healthy root systems since you planted them in good time. What was the harvest like when you pulled the plants the following year? I'm in the Rockies and the best months to plant garlic are September-October, harvesting in July the following year.
I’m trying to grow some garlic now but I’m wondering if it’s ok put them in a damp paper towel so they can grow shoots before I put them in my garden ?
Hi I think its not usually necessary to pre-sprout your garlic cloves, although I believe it can help to prevent fungal disease or rotting off as your sprouted cloves are effectively growing as you plant them. I you fancy doing it then why not? However, as long as you are using organic, untreated garlic and the cloves you plant are firm and of a decent size you should be okay sprouted or not. Good luck!
