    Having grown thousands of heads of garlic personally, this was not done in the best possible way, this is a great way to get it started maybe but after the first couple of days if you are going to continue growing it like this you need to separate the cloves of garlic or you risk the roots tangling and hoping that the garlic will survive when you separate them. If you are going to eat just the greens growing off it go for it. As for harvesting, the garlic is usually planted in October and then harvested in august to September (NY area) but one thing to watch out for is at some point the garlic is going to flower, you dont want it to flower unless you wanna attempt to grow garlic from seed, you will see what looks like a giant curl this is called a garlic scape, you will want to follow that scape down to the the first set of leaves, this will allow the plant to focus all its nutrients into the new garlic head growing below. You can eat and process the scapes, but you first want to remove the flower head portion from there you can process it with oil and seasoning to make a pesto or fry it up or whatever. So this is idea is actually a good one but it takes time, I would recommend staggering growth depending on how much garlic you consumer 1 batch every month? Anything extra can be pickled (good by itself or cooked). The reason you cant grow the garlic together on the head attached is because it stunts the growth of the cloves. If you have large cloves and want to retain that you need to remove them from the head. Please keep in mind too the garlic can and will grow upwards of 3-4.5 ft tall.

    I'm surprised by some of the comments made, "I'm not that anal to do that", It's a waste of time doing it that way", "this is just a video to put on UA-cam", etc etc. It goes to show how ignorant some people are.
    What I see is a way to start garlic so as to plant out Garlic Starts. I tried to grow garlic (30 cloves) and all but two failed, good quality soil, and plenty of compost. This may be a way for me to be successful, so I will try it.
    This video may not be of much use to the "smart" growers, but it is surely useful to people like me who have a problem growing garlic.
    I dug up some of my failures and found very little root system, they didn't develop, better luck this time, (second attempt) so, thank you for showing me another way to start growing garlic.

      Just plant them in good soil with compost and give them lots of water 💦 on top right away.
      Then get a tray, put your pots on it and water from the bottom. Garlic needs alot of water. Doing this will make the roots reach downward to get closer to the water at the bottom.
      Also make sure you have proper drainage. Good luck 🤞 hope this helps

A couple days later I trimmed my garlic pods, cut the tops and got my bottles ready. I carefully cut the bottles and then it dawned on me... I forgot to save the bottle caps!!! Oh mon dieu!!

It doesn't for all of us. So many times, I've stuck garlic cloves down into dirt & got nothing. So, I am going to try the method shown here & see if it helps. I really really want to grow garlic!

      Guess the main purpose is to weed out ones that will rot and ensure they are already emerged out of the soil but if you have a big enough scale, this would just be a lot of extra work since with good cloves over 95% will generally sprout when planted direct in the ground

    As many have said, plant in the fall and harvest next Aug/Sept. Yeah, that worked great for us until I didn't have time to do the fall harvest one year. Lots of garlic next year but without being separated they are all tiny. Tried to recover by planting the tiny cloves but mostly more tiny cloves. We have a few garlic plants that have held on over the intervening several years that keep coming back. I'm harvesting some now and this technique might just be the ticket to get back to full sized bulbs to plant in the fall. Also, planning to experiment with an LED grow light this winter and this might be a way to grow/start plants for harvesting greens over the winter. The idea of aquarium gravel instead of bottles sounds good. Or maybe use a rectangular plastic bottle so the level is constant and you don't have to create supports to keep the bottles from rolling around.
    I'd add that this technique could be used by someone in an apartment that doesn't have the luxury of planting outdoors.

      probably no BPA but BPF and other bisphenols used instead of A, all petro-plastics are toxic sooner or latter, better to use organic-all natural-biodegradable materials, but if you buy greens in clamp shells sold in stores as " organics" they are grown in plastics pipes under a roof in warehouse ( hydroponic) and not in real soil outside in the fields most of the times.

They had just as many chemicals as every single person buying their food from the store. That stuck with me. The parents were absolutely crushed. All their hard work made zero difference. The people growing their garlic like this are probable not any worse off than others using other methodology. After all the water used for watering travels though pipes and hoses to arrive at the plant.

    Okay...just some quick tips from someone who grows garlic. Don't bother with this. Get good seed garlic (which are just big bulbs of garlic) in July or August and store somewhere dry. Don't just use garlic from the store - most of them are treated to retard growth. Here in Virginia, we plant in late Fall. 4" spacing. Don't break up the garlic bulbs until you're ready to plant. Only plant the big cloves. 3" deep basal side down. Good soil with added compost. The idea is to get them in the ground early enough that roots will grow, but you want to minimize green growth. Last year, the soil wasn't cool enough until late November. Cover with lots of mulch. To get big bulbs, the garlic must lie dormant for a few months after setting roots in late Fall. If you plant too early, you will produce some green sprouts before winter, this wastes some of the energy in the clove and results in smaller bulbs when you do harvest. Plant too late, the soil is too cold and roots will not set ant the clove will rot. In spring, add more mulch. Weeds are the enemy. If you plant a "hardneck" garlic variety (center of garlic head has hard stem coming up from basal area), little piggly tail seed heads will pop up around May. Cut them off while they are still curly. They are delicious. Harvest garlic heads when about half the leaves have turned brown. Usually about a month after you cut the scapes: for us...late June. Hang harvest plants from the leaves in bunches somewhere dry and out of sun. When dry, cut off leaves. Set aside the good big heads for seed next year. Rinse repeat.

The only thing that will grow are "weeds" or more accurately, native plants. Sunflowers do the same thing. Could rice husks favor a crop plant over a native? That's a pretty tall order

      @@lesleyanneellis5818 TBH - I have no idea. The rice husks are extremely small - look at a grain of rice (or barley, wheat, etc) & imagine the tiny covering around it. I know wood chips are often added as a top dressing on flower beds and around trees to help maintain moisture and add a decorative effect, but I think you'd have to shred your chips or find a way to make them of a finer texture.
      Something else to consider is the type of wood chips. Different trees have properties that can have a negative effect on your baby plants, by changing the pH level of the soil. Some turn the soil extremely acidic and may kill the plant roots.
      A natural alternative if you can access it, is peat moss. You just add about 2c into a gallon of potting soil & mix well before planting the seedlings. The peat moss does the same thing as the rice husks - but I'm not sure if it has any nutritional value. Sorry!
      Another alternative is vermiculite. It does the same thing - keeps the soil from getting too compacted. And - if all else fails, you can purchase bags of pre-mixed soil specifically for seedlings although this might be dependent on where you live. I know for certain it's readily available in Canada and the US.
      Hope this helps a bit!
