I dried my last harvest of garlic on my kitchen table. I really liked the smell of the fresh garlic but most people would probably find it too strong. During the month my garlic was drying, I had NO flies in the house =)
......no Vampires either ! Garlic is never too strong ! Full of Vitamins ! It's really medicinal too ! I'm growing potatoes in a container inside . Food prices going up & up . The real good thing is quality ! Garlic , Potatoes , and Onion . ......I could live on them ! Peace !
The only thing I disagree with is a small thing, you said the paper cover will split because the garlic grew to big. After 7 years of growing my on garlic(about 6 varities ) I left a few rows in to long & all the paper covers had rotted away & I had to process all of it to keep the cloves from rotting. I never layed cloves on top of soil, so I learded something new also. Always save the large clove for planting & eat the small cloves. The large the clove the larger the bulb in summer.
Your closing remarks about perfection, "It doesn't matter how you do it, it's just THAT you do it" is insanely profound for my current life happenings hahaha thanks bro
I found the remark extra comforting because my family has a bad black thumb and knowing I can fuck up a little bit with the fresh garlic I let sit too long in my cupboard, comforts me. I hope all is well with everyone. Cheers
Do you braid them when they're green or after they've dried? I'm sure they're beautiful I've seen them in stores displayed this way! Thank you for sharing us that beautiful idea! I wish the very best to all who read this!
My family used to do a lot of farming in Cuba when we lived there. We would braid garlic as well. Can be done either dry or green. Ideally you would want to braid them while green so you can hang them all together to dry.
Lol. People still believe that rumor. I started it over a thousand years ago. We, oh I mean, vampires love garlic it cleans the blood. So eat plenty of garlic, it keeps the vampires away.
@@bjfifi Do you not get the joke? He is hinting that HE is a vampire, and vampires actually loves garlic, and vampires themselves started the rumor to GET people to eat garlic, while people THINK it keeps vampires away, vampires actually LIKE people to eat garlic.
Another common way to dry them is to braid them up. Look up garlic/onion/shallot braiding techniques and you'll find a few videos out there with some great tips. Not only does it work, it also looks very attractive hanging in the pantry or kitchen.
The garlic they showed was hardneck. Braiding is done with softneck varieties. Other differences: Softneck stores longer. Hardneck is more cold-hardy. Softneck contains several rows of cloves, becoming smaller towards the center of the bulb, while hardneck is composed of only one row of larger cloves.
exactly - harvest the garlic when the bottom leaves are already brown and dried up but the middle and top leaves are still green. That's the exact moment to harvest garlic!
NEW SUBSCRIBER! This is the most complete garlic growing video I have come across. Now I’m gonna go back and watch ALL your other videos! Thank you from a fellow Canadian ☺️
Wow.. keep recording like this (I know this is 5 years old, but still, I'm new) and I'll be back again and again. No wasting time, super informative, no odd camera angles, no flash intro.. in general, no headaches. This is how I wish EVERY learning video on RU-vid were and should be as you keep it super interesting, without adding distractions and garbage to "try" to grow an audience. You are like the flowers that the bees seek out.
That was an awesome video. New subscriber. This is my second year at planting garlic. I just finished planting 4, 4X4 raised beds at 6 inches apart also. Then covered them with my sycamore tree leaves, which just happened to drop all it's leaves for me. One thing I like about garlic is that you always have some to plant next year and most of all it's, almost, full proof. The critters hate it too. I call it my no brainer crop. By the way, that is an awesome crop of garlic. Look forward to more videos. Ozark, MO
I absolutely LOVE garlic. I can never have too much of it in my food. Just prior and during the winter months, I chew small pieces of garlic to keep and colds away. And the people. LOL. Works great ! 😃
Great Video because its informative, relevant, entertaining and too the point. Have skipped watching too many long winded videos, which is a shame because anyone who makes a video on Permaculture deserves to be heard, but..... The thumbs up to down ratio says it all. Well done!
Hmm . Here we usually remove all scapes, except 5 or so. This 5 scapes will be harvest indicator. When they straighten and stand up from their twisted early stage it is time to harvest.
I dehydrate and make my own garlic powder. I will have to try roasted garlic powder. Sounds delish.

When the soil is too fluffy the roots will push the clove up (personal experience). The good time for harvesting can be also determined by leaving one or two plants with the blossom stem. Once that stem is going to stand upright, the time for harvest is there.
XD Harvesting that can be done in 10 mins? No need for manual labor and loosening the soil? No need to exercise my muscles pulling up buried bulbs? This method is great for the lazy me!
Thank you very much Guys that hit the nail on head I have been wanting to find and enjoyable way to grow my first lot of garlic and successfully and you have lead me to a positive state of mind and ready to rock n roll .Thank you.
My neighbor just handedme a stalk of garlic she pulled from her garden. It has a purple flowering head at the top. Do I just leave it there while I'm drying it...or cut it off...or does it matter?? I do NOT want to ruin this gorgeous head of garlic!!! 😊 Very helpful vid.. thank you!!!
More proof that google is spying on people through their androids... I just had some old garlic sprout leaves in the kitchen that I am getting ready to plant. and this video shows up in my recommendations. lol Liked and Subbed
These videos are awesome and very informative. Ive grown organic veggies and fruits for about 35 years and have learned easier ways from your videos..thank you
@6:48 The size of the bulbs are not due to the style of planting. Those twenty thrown on top of the compost were the smallest cloves you planted, so they made smaller garlic bulbs.
Exactly. Actually, we don't really know because there are two uncontrolled variables -- the size of the cloves and the method of planting. We would need two additional plantings to sort this out rig orously.
you really believe that? you really think laying on the soil, instead of planted inches in to the soil wont make a difference? I promise it will always make a lot of difference
I grow garlic in my house, in a window box inside the window. The green stems are the bomb. I uses them like chives and scallions. They have a combination flavor.
Try korean style garlic scapes: Washed sliced garlic scapes (bite size pieces) soak in a marinade of soy sauce, mirin, sugar and chili flakes if you like heat. Just enough marinade to cover the bottom couple layers of scapes in a bowl. Cook on low in a saucepan until liquid evaporates. Finish with a drizzle of sesame or scallion oil. Amazing with tilapia and a bed of rice. Heat on low in a saucepan until liquid evaporates
It could be quackgrass growing up from below/the sides. It doesn’t look like they dug it up/put in a barrier. I tried doing this method on parts of my allotment plagued by quackgrass, and it came back, despite the cardboard and mulch.
Way to go! Glad to see that things really worked great and now will have to get my butt in gear and DO more too! How did the rest of your garden make out?
I have never seen any of your videos before, but I'm going to subscribe. This was so clear and simple, well-paced; and I love your attitude: it's not how you do it...it's that you do it. Anything worth doing is worth doing, even imperfectly. I'm a novice gardener and even though I've made plenty of mistakes in the last couple of years, it amazes me how much nature knows what she's doing!
Victoria B ditto! I’ve not seen this channel previously and I’m subscribing too! I’m an experienced gardener, and I’m drawn to all things garden-themed, natural-method, and northern. Love this!
You guys rock! I'm in northern alberta - just learning to do no till on our new acreage. Ive been pouring over your videos - thank you for all the detail, its made this journey much easier!
Hello ...nice video.. we live at 60degrees north in Sweden ( like Anchorage ,AK) we discovered some good hard neck garlic at a local garden shop about 4 years ago.. now we are up to over 500 planted this past October (2018)and we started about 50 at our new place in Transylvania :-)
So much yell-taking. I want to watch your channel but you're giving me anxiety. Can you mix up some of the incessant 8 minutes of talking quickly and loudly? Maybe use some captioned slides? I'm sorry. I really really love your content.
You could have done braids with the garlic to safe space while drying. Like a french braid, with a new garlic each round (Sorry not native speaker. Hole you could understand what i mean)
Yay! Garlic! I really need to try this method! And how are the potatoes doing? :D Overall, what are our thoughts on the ruth stout method compared to the other methods you used? I'm so curious to know your thoughts about it! :D
Does the general rule of "lower 1/3 leaves browning" for when to harvest also apply to soft neck varieties, or just hard neck? Great videos. I can't wait to try the powder garlic when I harvest my first garlic yield this year! Thanks for your content. :)
Even when you explain how to do something it sounds like you're telling a story. Unfortunately, after the video, I thought about what you said, but, just couldn't remember... 🤣😂👍
