@@BettyCloerWallace yea, I normally put them in the compost bin. The trash can was just a containment device. 🙂 Never thought of just putting them on top of the garden bed.
Once a person learns the basics, garlic is one of the easiest, most rewarding crops to grow. I have been growing for about 5 years, but relocated across country and so am just starting over this year. Bought 3lbs of seed from a local, reputable dealer, worked out to about 250 cloves in the ground. Enough for two families for the year, enough to replant and some to sell at the farmers market. It is easy, please give it a try. Enjoy!
If you actually believe what you just said then you have not grown garlic long enough nor a wide variety of it. Nor understand that you’re environment dictates the flavoring color nor understand that as you store it, depending upon the variety, it changes in flavor.. It is the single most complex crop to grow appropriately .
I had to go look! They did have the h. It wouldn't have surprised me if I had done that though. Thanks for letting me know! I'd rather check and do it wrong for all time! :)
Keep the cut-off roots and dried stems to add to your compost heap or spread over your garden, which will help deter pests.

Thanks. Hanging upside down makes sense to me.
dried leaves can be processed🌀 into garlic powder. or use it as mulch
@@user-us3pi4es5b Yes! I made some this year during the growing season. First time trying that. Gives a light garlic flavor
Those reusable bags are genius! Where did you get them from? I'm trying garlic for the first time this year, FL, so fingers crossed lol
Garlic is really easy to grow, just takes a while.
As far as the bags go, I got mine off Amazon , you can search reusable produce bags and find them

I think so as well! As we prepare to move to the cabin, I'm trying to decide which place to grow it at.
Good luck!

thank you. very informative. look forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully learned something from it
Hello, probably much too late now but your labels appear to say “neirloom” instead of “heirloom”. Hope you don’t mind me commenting. Nice video. 😊

How much garlic do you grow each year?
@@GlacialRidgeHomestead I used to grow over 100 each year. Since moving not as much. Last year's failed miserably, this year, maybe 25 (enough for us}
How much do you sell them for
When we sold, it was $3 a bundle, which was 3 heads. Since we've moved, we've not gotten production up yet
What a shame using plastic for such a nice union!
Do you have a product to use instead? I've love to hear.
I just braid them and tie with a thin string of hemp.
