This was great. Since you asked for opinions, I will take that invitation. 😊. It truly was wonderful. I’m glad you said that the directions are in the description. I did read through it. What would have been perfect for me would have been the high points in the video laid out in words at the correct timing: however much time before the first frost. Separate cloves, loosen soil. Plant rows and cloves 6” apart, 2-3” deep…you get the picture. It was a GREAT video. Thank you! This fall is my first planting. I’m so excited!!
Pause at tilling point: No-till gardening likely disrupts (and kills) less the creatures in the soil and exposes them to the harsh environment outside. Also, all those mechanicals use added fuel and materials that may not be required unless on larger scales. Industrial scales, fundamentally, may not work if widespread enough around the planet.

Such a helpful video and great details in the description. I always have so many questions because garden videos are usually produced farther south. I might have missed it, but I’m not sure if you mentioned in the video itself that the description had specifics? I just sort of stumbled across them and it was really helpful so I wouldn’t want anyone to miss them.
Purple Russian has performed the best for us in past years when we used to do multiple varieties, so now we just stick with Purple Russian to keep garlic simple.
@@jaredregier Thanks, I have never heard of this cultivar before. I’m currently testing which varieties are suited best for my growing zone 7b. It’s hard since our winters are never the same.
Well done but you did not show the orientation of the seed bulbs when you placed them? I am very impressed with your system and process and appreciate the inventiveness of your "field expedient" tool modification to get the beds ready. Thank you. This our first time growing a small bed of garlic here in Canal Fulton Ohio, will plant today, 10/27/23. Den Bob Thornton
If you want decent performance, yes. They will survive in shaded areas but grow so poorly that it's almost not worth the effort. One of my students was having trouble with garlic this season and the biggest cause was shade from a nearby fence. You could see the size of the garlic decrease steadily along the bed as the amount of shade from the fence increased. Light is a big deal in the world of plants.
this winter first garlic experience and, I'm planting hopefully in a weird/difficult area, 100 summer sun, 100% winter shade. I hope this will give my garlic the winter experience it needs, and then the full sun season for above ground growth. since I live in California it can be hard to give the garlic its proper winter season. I'm pretty excited about finding a potential use for the very very tricky area. who situates a house where one side gets full winter shade, and then full hot Summer Sun!!
This is an older video of mine, but it does answer your question by showing you the perfect time to harvest your hardneck garlic. czcams.com/video/5GTKACawVJ8/video.html
Yes, but high raised beds can be significantly colder in winter so if you are in a cold climate, plant the cloves at least 4 inches deep and mulch heavily.
Where do you get the garlic from in the first place? Can I grow from grocery store? You seem to be using your previous harvest as seed for next harvest
@@jordyhollinsYou can, most people say to grow ORGANIC supermarket garlic because that is less likely to have germination inhibitor applied. ORGANIC supermarket garlic grows fine and the important thing is to plant fairly deep in the fall with the intention that it should grow mostly Roots during the winter, and then most of the green growth happens in the spring. Now, standard supermarket garlic is called softneck garlic, and there is a different kind of garlic called hardneck garlic and a hardneck garlic sold in many supermarkets is Elephant Garlic. "Hardneck" is so called because the hard stem goes right down through the center of the clove bundle. one of the best things about hardneck garlic is that it blooms in the spring and you MUST cut those flowerbuds (to direct energy at bulb making) and they're really delicious to eat, kind of like garlic flavored asparagus. Also some people seem to think that hardneck garlics offer a more exciting palette of flavors. lots of places sell planting-tyoe garlic online, it's fresh from the ground so it's usually sold only in the late fall.

Thanks friend, i have been looking for This info for 20 tears, Dreator bless you and yours...doug (central canada)
I love how you were able to chat and keep working.
I loved the quiet planting instructions!!
Love thr techniques
THAT WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO! Great format! Just found your channel.
Thanks for the info. Youre daughter is adorable!

Great video, thanks! I'm in the far N of Scotland, so this is good for me! I need to mulch more, I think🙂
Very helpful thanks so much!
Wow! The steps looks easy to follow. Thank you for the learnings ❤️🙏
Thank you for this great information. I am moving from a Zone 7 to a Zone 3 so the timing and the depth are very different!
good video and also a great format. Please, please keep up the good fight.
Thank you! the video looks great.
That's nice to hear. Thanks for the feedback.

@@kitinoja1 You're welcome. I'm glad I could help your efforts.
I like the format, but some advice on when to plant would be helpful. How far ahead, behind first frost?

Awesome video, cool idea for an electronic tiller. What variety of garlic do you grow? Thanks

Do they need to be grown in a full sun area? In Calgary.
If you want decent performance, yes. They will survive in shaded areas but grow so poorly that it's almost not worth the effort. One of my students was having trouble with garlic this season and the biggest cause was shade from a nearby fence.
