Ur video is incomplete. U raised a question… will the garlic growing in grow bags do better with or without an olla!!!! Ur video did NOT answer that question. What’s up with that?
I wrapped my grow bags along a south facing fence with Mylar last summer. It not only helped retain moisture but also lowered the temps by as much as 25F on really hot sunny days.
I used rescue blankets I bought on Amazon, real cheap, same ones I use in the grow room to reflect light back on the plants. We were in a severe to extreme drought here in WI, could hardly keep up watering the grow bags. I checked the temp of the bags in direct sun on a hot day and it was almost 120F, that is what made me think about wrapping in Mylar. It worked for me. Here is a link to a video I posted ua-cam.com/video/u4jdaOwm6FY/v-deo.htmlsi=S4L-EeUGsCWwX7lZ Hope all is well !!!!@@GrowingInTheGarden
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!
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!
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!
@@GrowingInTheGarden Yesterday, I shared a link to ETSY for dibbers and you erased the information I left for future inquirers. But you are asking ppl to leave a link...
@@GrowingInTheGarden I think your dibber is awesome. Because of my love for yours, I researched a dibber on ETSY for myself and I wanted to share my research on your video. If anyone needs a dibber ETSY has many to choose from. Thank you for allowing me to share.
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.
Yes. I keep them in my garden year round, they've been fine. If they were not in a container, you might bring them inside, but the container insulates them enough for our climate.
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.
I use a combination of perlite, compost, worm castings and coconut coir - you can find more about it here: growinginthegarden.com/best-soil-for-raised-bed-vegetable-gardening/ You can get the red inchelium garlic (my favorite) at Botanical Interests: shrsl.com/496f8
Hi.. I'm in Goodyear and I'm having some trouble with my seedlings not sure what's eating them. Some look like they were pulled out of the ground I have seen little round craters where the seedlings were. What can it be?
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!
When you say "you don't want standing water" are you excluding or directly referring to setups which use pool liners or trays that pool give or take 2 inches at the bottom. Using the science of water's propensity to climb, the bottom watering will dampen without over watering the bag or disrupting the top soil. Also allowing for more infrequent watering. I've heard people say bags "breath." Though the more scientific explanation I've heard is that the fibers of the bag halt root coiling and overgrowth. As the roots stop growing when they hit the wall in a bag vs pots where they coil up like a snake infinitely causing rot. Just curious.
I'm sorry gardening in grow bags is not inexpensive. I've spent $100.00 for 5 gallon 10 gallon 20 bags each and 4, 50 gallon bags. The 50 gallon bags are on sale regularly $26.99 for 2. This doesn't include the cost of soil, fertilizer, seeds, plants, or other things. 3 or 4 bags might not be expensive if you only want to grow a couple tomato plants peppers or herbs, but if you want enough veggies for a salad, canning etc you need a bunch. Bagged soil is expensive 12-17.00 at the box stores. 1 bag doesn't fill very many grow bags. Buying plants from nursery or box stores $5-20 per plant depending on size and type. Starting seeds indoors you need starting mix at 5-10.00 per bag plus trays lighting etc. So far I've spent 90 on lights 20ish on seeds, 15 for cups and misc supplies. Next year will be less expensive need soil maybe more seeds, fertilizer and likely more bags. Hopefully have a compost ready to help fill some. Bottom line Gardening isn’t cheap or inexpensive.

You're right! The garlic with the oyas grew best!
Angela what a surprise to see you contributing to a episode of EPIC gardening it was great to see you collaborating.
It was awesome!!!!

Wow! Nice idea. Can you tell me more about the mylar you used? I'd love to look into that.

Planting garlic in my Tucson garden this weekend - perfect timing for this video!
I think the garlick with the Olla in the grow bag will get the best of both worlds 😊❤
1st. Raised bed
2nd. Grow bag with olla
Thank you for the growing tips .
I think you might be right. I'm interested to see for sure. Thanks for watching!
Following along for the results. Thanks Angela.

Can't wait to see your results! Planting my garlic on Sunday😊
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.
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!
I just saw it on the oya web site but I didnt look for the markings.
The one from Growoya is similar: collabs.shop/eiet4f
Thank you 😊
Enjoying your garden tips! I did buy a dibber Amazon.
Nice! Share a link if you can. I've seen smaller diameter ones, but not larger ones.

Crazy weather. It will be interesting to see what our winter brings. I wish you all the success.
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 😊
Yes! You're probably right. Someone else mentioned it may be from a mortar and pestle as well. 32 years! Congrats!
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.
Yes. I keep them in my garden year round, they've been fine. If they were not in a container, you might bring them inside, but the container insulates them enough for our climate.
@@GrowingInTheGarden Got it thanks
@@478JohnnyboyOlla 😉🌻🦋
Now I want to go to thrifting to find a dibbler like yours! 😂
Right? I always look when I go. Dibbers, vintage baskets & vintage colanders are my weakness!
❤tyfs!
I saw something like your Dibber on the oya website
Yes! They have something similar here: collabs.shop/eiet4f

I’m planting garlic this season, and everybody say to use straw as a mulch, is it okay to use wood chips as a mulch for garlic
Sure - mulch lightly around plants until they get larger
Hi.. I'm in Goodyear and I'm having some trouble with my seedlings not sure what's eating them. Some look like they were pulled out of the ground I have seen little round craters where the seedlings were. What can it be?
Could be birds - put barrier methods in place and see if that helps.
Thank you very much!! Love all of your videos❤
does the bag need elevated when planting vegies? some people said they get otherwise moldy
You don't have to.
Hi do u soak the garlic in alcohol then the fish solution
No.
Your "dibber" is actually a tomato masher that goes with a cone sieve.
What are you using to make the holes.
Dibber: collabs.shop/eiet4f
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!
Yay! Mystery solved. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, how many gallons are your grow bags? :)
These are the 20 gallon grow bags I use: amzn.to/3QqkeU1
Do you peel them before you plant?
No
When you say "you don't want standing water" are you excluding or directly referring to setups which use pool liners or trays that pool give or take 2 inches at the bottom.

That is not a dibber. It is a pestle from a deseeder for canning.

@growinginthegarden so which one did best?
The one with the olla!
