This time I kept it simple and straightforward, no complicated methods just a potato fork. Having run out of space for my 400+ garlic heads I needed a quick and easy garden bed to expand to so here is me trying to keep it simple!

Garlic! Stories about Queen Elizabeth II mention that she would not allow garlic be used in palace food. She may have been a gazillionaire but her food was impoverished.
I had some soild in the garden go hydrophobic on me, not much good info out there. It was really bad . I actually found that doing a little tilling and then a little watering over and over, produced some friction and helped work the water into the soil.
Thanks for sharing, this is perfect timing for a bed I have at home. My garlic flooded and rotted this year,wishing you more luck
That is one really cool little tool! I want one!
I like that you prepared the bed with that 4 tine cultivator. I don till anymore, but I do use a broad fork and/or cultivator to loosen the soil and prepare the bed for planting. Also, excellent use of amendments. Look like you’re going to enjoy a great harvest. This was an excellent video. Thanks
Jacques,
Just a reminder–remove the small cloves before washing your britches! 😉
So unless you did it on purpose to make a video i don't understand why you let that spot dry out. Even with water restrictions you could have left some kind of cover crop or even just mulched it.
Good luck with your garlic!
Of all the veggies I preserve / put up, garlic goes so fast. I'm not sensing an upper limit to garlic on planting numbers.
I can’t wait to see the results
Realy nice video. Somehow you looked more relaxed
How long will it take for garlic to sprout after planting? This is my first time planting garlic.
Jacques you might need to ask Kevin for some free garden space for the rest of the Garlic 😊
How timely was this! Between work deadlines and the flu I haven't planted my garlic in the most neglected planting area I have. Saturday is the new goal for garlic day!
To grow my garlic stock out this year I let every head form bulbils then I spread them in to some of my ever-bearing strawberry beds–started earlier in the year with runners.
Hey Jacque, Burns Blossom is out of all their seed garlic till June. I'll get some then. Those Aglio Rosso are gorgeous. FYI
Finally found your channel from watching Epic. Watching from Colorado.
GIVE US THE SCIENCE!!!
I also enjoy experiments. I can't think of anything specific right now, but testing out certain methods or myths of gardening is quite of interest. Always nice to see videos of people doing things simply.
Forking to create infiltration vs. tilling that creates hardpan…
I'm kind of surprised you are planting hardneck garlic in CA. Did you put it in the freezer or frig before planting?
I love veggie garden experiments!!! That's like crack to me. 😉 However I'm challenged with space, sun and I'm a northern gardener. This last month I've been trying to dial in the most efficient way to germinate my leeks. Is it the variety? Is it the soil? Light or no light? Heat? Leave them on the surface or bury them 1/4th inch. Oddly enough the seed in the same tray with no variation from each other have a disparity of germination times. I started them Oct. 16th. the first ones to germinate are now 8 inches tall while 1/3 of the tray is 4 inches tall and the rest was about 1 1/2 inch tall. The next batch will be germinated in zip lock bags using different controls and then transplant into cells (that I purchased from Epic Gardens now Epic Homestead) I'm also growing Alpine Strawberries indoors for the winter so they'll be of fruiting age by the time I transplant them out next March. This helps me to not go stir crazy indoors all winter. You've rapidly become my fav. channel. I love how you take food from the garden and prepare it into something that I'd want to try myself. Bravo. keep up the good work. PS if you can dial things in that work for most gardens It would save me years of experimenting and I can push on to the next great experiment.
