How to Grow Garlic | Simple Steps for HUGE Yields

Thanks really helpful I love garlic so much, if a recipe says 2 cloves I add at least 4! I can eat several cooked whole bulbs just on their own. Maybe this is why I’m single😂

Wonderful video. I live in an area where it rains almost every day in winter. Should I protect the garlic from the rain? Thank you for your reply.

First year I made garlic scape butter! It is delicious!

Thanks for the info. Is it ok to cut the green leaves from top and use them for cooking during the 9 months garlic growth cycles ?

I wouldn't let freshly harvested garlic lay on the sun at all. The bulbs get easily sunburned and the protective paper casing over the garlic head develops micro tears from the rapid drying, hence more chances for desease, fungus, early rot, etc.

Looks like I need to plant some garlic!

Thank you so much

Your videos are great! I have a lot of experience, but I can always learn something. In my country (Croatia), we braid the stalks of garlic and onions into braids about 1 m long. We tie the ends and hang them in a dry and airy place. Greetings!

Garlic is a great crop. My 'formula' for calculating how much i need to plant is extremely simple: i use on average one bulb a week, so i need 52. Calculate about 10% loss/failure, so i plant a round 60 cloves

You must be somewhere warm, December is far too late for colder climates.

Good stuff, Huw

What a beautiful video, your phrasing is perfect and the informations simple and clear. I’m in Canada where can I buy hard neck cloves for planting this autumn?

Love it! Thanks for the video this helps. I am planting my first crop of garlic soon! (I am in a cold climate).I ended up buying local organic Russian red garlic at an organic grocery store, was way cheaper than online. 😂

can you grow garlic in a greenhouse ?

Hello will I have peel the garlic first

My experience is to always keep the biggest and best bulbs for the next planting season. Cut roots off harvested garlic while it's still green, and make sure you remove scapes from the growing hardnecks as soon as you see them. Those can be stirfried.

Thanks for the great info! Wish my garden was as huge as yours! Someday.

Very good and informative video.

Your garden looks spectacular. Thank you so much for your tips re garlic. It is wonderful to see such above average looking compost. As a compost maker of fifty years, I suggest you try adding some rice/split pea sized coarse sand or fine gravel to your compost after it is finished. Even one bucket per barrowload will do wonders. I am going to try unwashed beach sand this year for the first time, as sea water has the entire range of trace micronutrients, and most living things seems to enjoy a small amount of salt. I will see how the mix works with finer sand - I am expecting it to work well. Rodale reports that sea water has 78 elements in it.

do you have to cover the ground with anything after you plant? Also, how deep should the soil be?

Hello from Romania, est Europe! I enjoy your videos! Sorry for my english! I was wandering if there is garlic for spring and some other garlic tipe for autumn! 🧄Thank you!

So growing beans and peas in the same spot as garlic, or after garlic, has no problems for you? Do you consider that a proven false myth?

But do you WATER it? How much and how often????

How much sun does it need?

Just keep your garlic crop dry and forget the rest. Ours hangs 12 months in a light airy room, but not direct sunlight

Huw - can you please let us know what we can expect if we plant garlic now ? ! It's sprouting in the kitchen! Is it useless waste of taking up space? Many thanks!

Lovely, I love garlic. I cant wait to have fresh garlic! i love garlic. i think this will be a great garlic year! with the cold weather!

If thor was a gardener

Tomorrow i will try to plant garden again...

This guy is a classic example of somebody who has made a lot of money by high production video and books but in reality doesn't know what he's talking about as I've seen his posts many times just regurgitating myths and Bullshit that he's picked up from other channels who espouses more bullshit

Hi Huw, I’m from the UK and it’s so cold this week! I realise I’m late to planting garlic, but in your opinion would I still yield a good crop by summer if they were planted this week?

Use a cordless drill with a 7/8" paddle bit taped to mark 2.5" depth. I just put in 400 bulbs in roughly 35 minutes. Topped with compost and straw. If I had help, I could have knocked it out in 15 minutes.

Amazing video yet again! Just couldn’t find the answer i was looking for, planted mine around early/mid November and the shoots have gone crazy. Some of the leaves have started to go a yellow sort of colour in the past few days, any ideas what it could be? First time ever planting garlic and in fresh soil. Thanks in advance!

Just saw a scientific paper where they talked about white rot. It seems it can survive in the soil for over 10 years without hostplant. This means quite some time without allium in the garden.

Greetings from Cork, Ireland! Glad I watched this video because I am just about to go out and plant some garlic and that diagonal planting suggestion is great, thanks! I'll try that. Brilliant video all round, lots of other great info that I wished I'd known last year :D

Green part of garlic we use as we using garlic it self first using green leaves and then when garlic ready use that. in Mediterranean and Italian kitchen. And you can wash dry slice green leaves ASN in a bag add in freezer and simply you frozen as garlic flavouring your food. It will not freeze as block.

Your planting times are completely incorrect.
Think about the world when you make a video.
So this video was unhelpful to me from the start.
Speak seasons Not months

Did I miss any extra info about elephant garlic?

Great

Honey garlic is my winter medicine. Haven't been sick in YEARS!!! An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An apple, and a clove of garlic, keeps him WAY away!

Huw, I’ve planted my garlic in mid October. Already it has put up shoots. I thought I wouldn’t see anything til spring. Have I done anything wrong? What shall ido?

Thank you!

I’ve never heard of honey garlic. Thanks for educating me. I’m going to give it a try!

Elephant garlic is not a true, true garlic, I have heard, tho it is treated as such.

thank you , glad I found your channel!

Hi Huw, thanks for the very informative video, after watching it I have planted some garlic in a large pot! Fingers crossed I might get some fresh garlic to use during the winter!? I am also trying Ginger and Turmeric in large pots.

Muchas gracias Huw!!! Muy clara tu explicación!
