What is your fertilizing routine after you plant your garlic?
If someone where going to try and put some garlic in the fridge to trick it into going threw it's cold phase. How would you go about that?
Planted garlic cloves on Sunday from garlic I harvested this year 😊 FYI, I purchased a pair of knee pads a couple of years ago just for use in gardening. My knees and back thank me every time I use them! They are on my top 3 favorite gardening tools list.
Well done.
I’m in upper lower Michigan, You are saving me from making a big mistake! This will be my 1st time planting too!
Thank you, thank you!!
Thanks Luke
It’s less costly to buy gatlic at the supermarket.
I bought hardneck bulbs for planting and the price per clove was $1.33
Nice big bulbs are for sale for less and there’s no other costs for soil amendments etc
What I will do next year is set aside 75 cloves from my own harvest for planting next October. That will pay.!
But it is a cool veg to grow.
I’m In Apple Valley Ca it’s still hot out here around 85 degree . Not sure to start now ??
I'm looking forward to grow my garlic this week, I ordered them from u!
Got our Garlic in the other day! I love this activity in the garden this time of year, perfect weather to boot zone 4 Michigan , whoohoo!…. Thanks for the great info MIgardener, thrive on with your garden…
Is Bulb Plus a product you sell or is it something you'd get at a big garden supply store?
Can you also use bulb + for onion starts?
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

We plant our Garlic in a humped up row to stop the rot and then cover it with seed free straw with 2inch plastic chicken fence over it to keep the straw in place , we have been doing this for 15+ years and have never had any loss to rot. Just sayin…
I just finished putting just under a thousand cloves in the ground over the last 3days. I’m old it takes a long time. I have 5 different varieties. I don’t know why. Besides the size I can’t really tell the difference in taste. I pretty well do all the things you talked about so that was reassuring. We have already had 3 frosts so I knew it was time to get at it. I was wondering do you buy new seed garlic each year or do you save some of your harvest to replant next season? I have been growing the same stuff for years and it still turns out great. Great video. Thanks for the info.
Mine are from an organic farm. This year, fusarium has set in way more than I'm comfortable with. Next year I'll do three things – cull ruthlessly, add three or four more varieties, and collect some bulbils for replanting. Also, I'll be planting as far from where I have last year and this year.
Second year here, just finished planting a new bed! Elephant garlic and 4 varieties of hardneck in the dirt for next year.
Little bit of 10-10-10 and in a couple weeks when I get to the leaves, it’ll be mulched for winter.
i was waiting on a new garlic video
I’ve used trifecta plus but never heard of bulb plus until this video
PLEASE do a spring garlic planting video too !!!
11:57 did you mean freeze instead of frost?
Great tips, but mine are already in the ground. I think I did most of what you mentioned❤. I will through some mulch on top before frost.
This video should have been out at least a couple weeks ago!'
I had my best success with MI Gardener garlic. I also love that I can order it per bulb.
It is against the law in Idaho to plant grocery store garlic. We have to buy seed garlic that is certified free from white rot. This is our first year buying seed garlic from Migardener. I was disappointed when I separated the cloves and found several of the cloves were rotted, so we weren't able to plant as many.
Thank you. I always wanted to grow garlic. I tried a few years ago and failed. Thankful I found you!
I plant garlic I get at the farmers' market. Last two years were deadly—horrid drought with much heat, and then rain, rain, rain. Trying again, but hope springs eternal! The tip to re-ammend at planting time is great. I will try bulb fertilizer since I have it, and they will be planted near my spring bulbs. Spring and fall for all of them. (Except the ones in the woods–they're on their own!)
Well I did everything you said except i buried about 3 inches deep to the roots about a week ago. Is it worth digging them up and replacing them shallower or keeping them where they are? I used bulb+ and reammended the soil as well and used a couple inches of straw mulch on top. I could always take a little soil off the surface. First year and very excited!! Thanks
Something has found where I planted the Spanish Rojas Garlic 😢 hopefully I've been able to save some of it
11:35 que black squirrel running across fence plotting its next meal!!
Great tops! I’d rather learn from someone else’s failures!
I planted garlic for the first time last fall…now I know why the heads turned out so small.
"Not too deep" I am following this
Luke, how tall are the sides of your raised beds please? Are they cedar or pressure treated? Thanks!
I planted all my garlic i bought from you guys on October 6th and most of the 200 bulbs were up in 5-8 days 😬. We've been in the 30's at night for a month but the days have stayed warm until this week. My first frost date is Sept 29. I hope they do OK.
While I love all your videos, I do wonder why hardly any videos on growing garlic ever discuss growing green garlic which can be planted at any time of the year from my limited understanding. It's never even mentioned as an option. I only recently learned that you can grow and harvest green garlic, and it's highly sought after ingredient in some cuisines. Since I grow garlic in the a growing zone that doesn't even get a frost, I have to cold stratify my garlic. This year, I'm experimenting with growing green garlic and preserving that along with my normal garlic bulbs. However, there isn't a lot of information about green garlic because most growers are focused on growing big garlic bulbs in the fall. It would be nice to have an in depth growing guide for green garlic for those of us who want that option.
Why can't I buy garlic from you?
Ok. So I tried planting last year or earlier this year because we had a warm winter in Louisiana and it all was small. Frost dates are wonky around here plus I'm new to zone 8b and gardening. How do I have a successful harvest this year?
First year I purchased my seed garlic from a reputable seller here in Canada with a handful of different varieties. I purchased and sowed enough to yield what we'll typically use in a given year from the time it finishes curing to the next round the following year with the largest bulbs being set aside to resow. Sure, it was an expensive initial investment, but now i literally never have to buy seed or culinary garlic ever again (which truly is a cash crop) and on top of that my presumption would be that the bulbs do adapt to the soil conditions through multiple successions similar to seeds you save and resow. If I had to choose one crop to grow, then it would be garlic. Simple, easy, and a huge money saver.
My garlic sprouting but now the sprouts are falling off is that normal some of them are growing back will it grow back is it like the first leaves in regular plants
I planted hard neck garlic and soft neck garlic and only the soft neck came up, none of the hard neck, is this common?
Thanks for the info on the sulfur. I've never had a problem…yet… I love your videos, I always learn something.
Broken link? When I click on the shop link in the description, it lets you click on it twice and then kicks me off YouTube! Hope @Migardener can see this! I need some seed garlic! All the seed garlic around here is super tiny this year! Thank you! Great video!
