It’s Garlic Planting Time! Garlic is one of the easiest crops to grow, and learning how to grow garlic is simple. Even better, once you’ve grown it, you can regrow garlic yearly from your bulbs.
Garlic is usually planted in the fall — from September through November. Plant garlic about a month before the soil freezes in cold climates. The best time to plant garlic in the low desert of Arizona is during the month of October.
• Choose an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight.
• Garlic grows best in loose, well-draining soil.
• Amend the planting area with compost and a balanced organic fertilizer.
• Break apart the bulbs and soak in a solution of fish and kelp fertilizer and baking soda (1 T of each per gallon of water) for at least 8 and up to 24 hours. (The baking soda has antibacterial benefits, and the fertilizer stimulates growth.)
• Plant cloves 2-3” deep and 4-6” apart.
• Mulch planting area well, especially in cold climates.
• Water well when new leaves are forming. When leaves begin to die back, water less often.

Do you keep oola’s in year round? I know terracotta is prone to breaking when freezing. I’m also in Mesa and we got frost here last year.
Planting garlic in my Tucson garden this weekend – perfect timing for this video!
❤tyfs!
1st. Raised bed
2nd. Grow bag with olla
Thank you for the growing tips .
How can I join , I can't find where to join
Enjoying your garden tips! I did buy a dibber Amazon.
Thank you 😊
Now I want to go to thrifting to find a dibbler like yours! 😂
I have always wondered about that dibber! I've looked for it, but the only ones I can find either don't have markings or have markings in centimeters. I'm glad to know it's an antique and that it's not just me sucking at google. ;'D
Excellent video, as always, Angela!
It was cool seeing you on Epic Gardening!!
I think the garlick with the Olla in the grow bag will get the best of both worlds 😊❤
Can't wait to see your results! Planting my garlic on Sunday😊
The algorithm must've heard me talking, because I just recently ordered garlic from EpicGardening to plant for the first time. I live in Central FL, so I ordered 2 or 3 types of softneck. This video really helped give me an idea of how to proceed, as I garden entirely out of grow bags currently, so its nice to know that I can have several in each larger grow bag like that 🙂 Since they are such a long season crop, I may also look in to gettiing an olla as well, so curious to see how that works out!
As I was watching this video, I kept thinking of questions and a few seconds later, you answered them. Which is typical of your videos and one of several reasons why I love watching them. I have learned so much from you and appreciate all that you do.
I'll be starting some garlic very soon in 9B (building some more raised beds this weekend) and this is very timely info. I was particularly worried about the mulch; mulch is definitely super helpful but I wasn't sure how the garlic would deal with it. That answers that!
Hi Angela It’s spring here in Australia. My garlic has about 8 weeks to go until it’s ready to come out. We have had a warmer then usual winter & then periods of dryness & then buckets of rain. Fingers crossed 🤞 they haven’t rotten underneath.
Angela what a surprise to see you contributing to a episode of EPIC gardening it was great to see you collaborating.
That isn't actually a dibbler. It is a pestle made for crushing fruits and vegetables. Amazon carries a set made by Norpro. The proper name is a Chinois with pestle. I have never thought to use mine as a dibbler!
Following along for the results. Thanks Angela.
What is your potting mix ingredients? Where did you originally get the garlic? How deep did you plant. I’ve never grown garlic but thinking I may try it this year.
Your dibble is a waffle cone maker! I had an ice cream/candy store for 32 years and used one daily to make our waffle cones 😊
Hi Mam !
Good farming
Your job is great……
I live in tropis country..i can harvest in my mini garden when dry weather than raining weather.thank you so much..
Hi do u soak the garlic in alcohol then the fish solution
I live Phoenix, I’m growing cucumbers n it stopped growing n the male flowers are falling off, can it still be too hot
Have you tried growing green beans/pole beans in pots? If so, how did that turn out?
That is not a dibber. It is a pestle from a deseeder for canning.
Your digger tool looks like a tool used for making apple sauce. You would spin it around a cone-shaped mesh strainer to mash the cooked apples.
