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.
I would like to know what you sprayed on them and did you have drain holes in the potted containers? I would like to see the finished and producing plant
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
I was so excited to try this. I drank some soda so I could have the bottles. I rinsed them, and set them out to dry. 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!! So don't forget to save the caps!
There are people who can just stick garlic cloves in the ground & 9 mo later, they have big heads of garlic. Fantastic for them! They are fortunate things work that way for them. 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.
You can eat the leaves of garlic. They taste like garlic believe it or not. And they add green to your dish. So you can occasionally pick a leaf off a couple plants and eat them while the plants grow.
На скорости 1.5 ролик смотрится гораздо веселее. Автору уважение за труд и аккуратность. Я просто разделяю чеснок на зубчики и в зиму сажаю на грядку, вокруг кустов и деревьев, между кустиками клубники. Но это когда есть огород.
I noticed after 2 months of buying garlic, there was green growing off the top. So I took the cloves with green and put them in a small cup and watered them every 2 days and they grew perfectly.
I'm really having a hard time believing that in five days you have that much growth on your garlic bulbs... Maybe five weeks but five days is hard for me to believe...
No the green shoot growth is almost instantaneous! After 5 days I planted my separate bulbs into grow-pots. Want harvest of continuous green garlic shoots. The flavour is amazing! I rooted mine balanced on Sherry glasses, filled with water & a little Seasol. Overnight the first tiny shoots appeared! 😊
I think his days add up. So day 1, then 2 days later (actually day 3), 4 days later (actual day 7), 5 days later (actually day 12), etc. It was just poorly phrased.
Nice , so you're basically "cloning " garlic cloves . I'm gonna give it a try , thanks for sharing . I like your gardens too, nice and clean , organized , and well managed 😁👍
I'd use the tops rather than the bulb much later, it's refreshing and not as pungent as the cloves, but a great idea to replicate, thank yiufor sharing!
Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. I do hydroponics as I am in Zone 3b and any start to the season is a tremendous help. It always amazes me how different techniques are adopted in different parts of the world. I am going to try this in one mason jar. I've successfully been growing via Kratky method in addition to DWC.
This is a useful and creative video. I'm going to try starting them this way. For the readers, to get the best flavor let garlic winter over and harvest in Spring.
This was a great video . I do this as well but only in saucers or bowls of shallow water. When I transplant it out I remove a centimeter of leaf from each plant. It stimulates growth
That's the whole garlic growing cycle for this method. It won't produce a new bulb that year, just the greens which are tasty to eat. If you let it over-winter, it will produce a bulb next year.
@@nishuright5532 that doesn't apply to garlic which needs to be planted in the fall and left in ground for 8 months!! This stuff he's doing is pointless
If the point was not to keep the hydroponic approach all the way to the end, they could have just planted the garlic directly in the soil from the beginning. The cloves would have used the nutrients from the soil to grow better and get that nourishment.
I think the video's method seems ideal, if the roots can deal with the soil well. Having those greens would allow for strong photosynthesis. You can also harvest a section of the greens as an early crop.
Very good Terrence. I was a bit sceptical at first, after trying your method it works perfectly.. I’ve been planting bulbs in soil direct and waiting for them to shoot, where is within three days. I’ve got excellent result appreciate thanks for your video. Really helpful. Keep up the good work kind regards. 👍
First thing that came to my mind was what about all the chemicals, BPA? that can leech from the plastic, into the water and right through those roots. 😞 I propagated some garlic indoors, however used glass. I do appreciate the video, nicely done.
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.
I had a family here that were my friends. They moved out of town when they became pregnant and grew all their own food...all garden, eggs, meat milk. You name it they did it. Organic everything. After about six years their doctor asked if he could test them to see the difference. None. 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.
00:52 If you want to keep your fingers when using a craft knife "cut away from yourself and towards your mate". I actually flinched when you finally cut through the plastic bottle............
Thank you I so enjoyed this, I’m off to the store to buy some garlic, I can’t wait to see the results. Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨
They don't always tell you the whole story.....and this music is too much.....I didn't even watch video can't stand when they put this loud music on.....Id rather hear people talk & tell what they are doing....
When you root cuttings or sprout avocado seeds in water you're supposed to change the water daily. I wouldn't leave it more than 2 days. And I would use rain water or clean drinking water without chemicals.
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.
I've been told that inhibit weeds, you see them being used in a some commercial nurseries. I also experimented with them as potential growth inhibitors on bonsai stock plants.
Do rice husks know the difference between garlic and any other 'weed's growing next to it? I think more in the way of moisture retention, soil humus, nutrient rich stuff. But many things do the same thing. Maybe there is something special about rice husks, I don't know
And, about growth inhibitors in plants, yes, any gardener knows you can't grow vegetables anywhere near walnut trees bcz nothing will grow. It's a process called allelopathy. 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
you can chop up the green stalk into the dishes you're cooking - tastes just like the garlic bulb. Usually I just take a half inch to inch off a few stalks. They grow back.
@@mikegorski2085 ~Hello Mike, I have two questions:: In this video above, why does this person “cut about 1/4” inch off the top of each garlic toe” with a knife.?? Is this necessary to do and did you also do this.??
plant in October. harvest the next year when the top leaves brown and fall sideways before flowering. This does NOTHING to speed that up but you can just cut the greens and eat those.
@@newaccount2970 I ended up googling it. I should have googled where to find rice husks. This is what Google said... "Rice hulls are a popular substrate for gardening since they absorb liquid and are an environmentally sustainable drainage option. In fact, they are one of the most sustainable soil amendments available for greenhouse growers because they help improve drainage, water holding capacity, and aeration."
According to the information that displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen - it was rice husks. I Googled it to find out why. It's a biodegradable material good for organic farming. It provides a few nutrients, but its main purpose is to keep the soil aerated. Chiming in from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦, where our high today is 12°C as I type this @ 5:15 pm MST. And there's the possibility of SNOW in the forecast. Happy May 21st/22. Of COURSE it's the Victoria Day long weekend. Gasoline prices went up $0.10/L which is more than it usually goes up before a long weekend - but with the way it's going - they might not come back down. Scary! Continue to stay safe everybody!
@@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!
Stop cutting towards your hand Eeee! Knife safety! Always cut away and if you start angling around towards your hand then REGRIP! Please don’t cut yourself! 🫣
I subscribed to your Terrace Garden. The Garlic video was perfect, but I missed the comments. Whatever is shown in this video, comments are also an important part which viewers can learn. Thanks
Thank you for posting. We don’t need music. You should speak and explain what you’re doing, why, when and what to expect from the final harvest. Example, why are you adding rice to the soil?
Often times the person making the video doesn’t speak English. It’s pretty common. If I were among a video for, say, Korean distribution, I’d likely add music and text and not even try to talk, too.
Been thinking of using my thin film hydroponics system to grow garlic, so this method is fine for establishing rooted cloves prior to planting in hydroponics. Cloves will hang in small baskets above the thin film of flowing nutrients which only the roots will touch. I know garlic takes a very long time to mature, but perhaps hydroponics will greatly speed things up. I've grown peppers and herbs with astounding success in my system. All indoors, controlled conditions, etc. Keeps me occupied in the winter months.
As a middle school science teacher - I appreciate how easily this will teach my kids about roots and shoots - thank you

Thank you I so enjoyed this, I’m off to the store to buy some garlic, I can’t wait to see the results. Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨
One point they never talk about is how many times you have to change the water
They don't always tell you the whole story.....and this music is too much.....I didn't even watch video can't stand when they put this loud music on.....Id rather hear people talk & tell what they are doing....
@@TheKentuckylady717 I think they're avoiding a language barrier based on some errors in captions
@@TheKentuckylady717 you're right about the music! I just turned it down completely, and watched it.
When you root cuttings or sprout avocado seeds in water you're supposed to change the water daily. I wouldn't leave it more than 2 days. And I would use rain water or clean drinking water without chemicals.
@@comfortablynumb9342 you don't need to change the water..what for?
First time watching your channel and it was so wonderful. Everything was perfect.
I LOVE this channel ❤️ so simple yet so very clever
I am in the UK, I left some to grow outside since October and it's still growing. I will dig them out soon :)
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.
I'd love to have seen these harvested.
I tried it and it's so amazing to see how much it's growing so quickly and I dig it 😘😌🤗
I hope you had a beautiful day.??!!!!!!!
For planting something like that (green onions and garlic) I use a chop stick to make a hole when planting. Perfect size hole.
Хотелось бы увидеть результат , какой вырос чеснок ...!!!
Хорошо, когда зима есть. Осенью посадишь, чеснок, и он там всё это сам проделывает, под снегом.
Very small heads if any is what I say . There's going to be a lot of starvation going on if the food industry goes .
What's that black white stuff near the cutted top, mold??
What is the red, the part under the bottle to keep it from rolling?? It's not in the video?
А каков же окончательный результат? Хотелось бы увидеть продолжение.
Зачем голову морочить? В эти пластиковые вёдра сразу посадить зубки чеснока и не морочиться с бутылками.
Would love to see the harvest.
What are the rice husks for? Please
loosen the soil
I've been told that inhibit weeds, you see them being used in a some commercial nurseries. I also experimented with them as potential growth inhibitors on bonsai stock plants.
Do rice husks know the difference between garlic and any other 'weed's growing next to it? I think more in the way of moisture retention, soil humus, nutrient rich stuff. But many things do the same thing. Maybe there is something special about rice husks, I don't know
And, about growth inhibitors in plants, yes, any gardener knows you can't grow vegetables anywhere near walnut trees bcz nothing will grow. It's a process called allelopathy. 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
They are used to retain moisture and suppress germination of weed seeds.
That is so cool I got to do that next summer I'm going to grow me some garlic I got some wild garlic back there but I don't get too big.
Very nice, thank you! How long to harvest? Would have been nice to see.
Maybe just try it yourself and find out.
That's a good question
A Google search says 8-9 months for most varieties.
It won't be harvested Ana, because this is not actually how you grow Garlic. Garlic is an 8-10 month crop that overwinters in the ground.
@@MelanieCravens that's in cold climates. in the tropics (like Vietnam where this person is) it's about 4 to 5 months.
good ideas grow very well, did you change the water every day for grow well?
That what I was thinking....It looked so clean everyday. ...mine never looked like that ....of course I live in Florida ....
What do you add on top of your little gardens? Do you eat the greens? Do bulbs grow?
you can chop up the green stalk into the dishes you're cooking - tastes just like the garlic bulb. Usually I just take a half inch to inch off a few stalks. They grow back.
Fantastic! Thanks for the information.
I tried it and it's so amazing to see how much it's growing so quickly and I dig it 😘😌🤗
I hope you had a beautiful day.??!!!!!!!
@@mikegorski2085 ~Hello Mike, I have two questions:: In this video above, why does this person “cut about 1/4” inch off the top of each garlic toe” with a knife.?? Is this necessary to do and did you also do this.??
Beautiful 🥰 garlic trees thanks 👍 lot...
Thank you for sharing , the best step by step to grow .. very easy .. I did it in my garden but yours is very organized .. love it
After how many days are the garlic harvested, how much time is given for the harvest?
plant in October. harvest the next year when the top leaves brown and fall sideways before flowering. This does NOTHING to speed that up but you can just cut the greens and eat those.
❤❤❤❤❤wow good idea congrats sir Terrace Garden
So many people got a way of planting garlic. I like this way because you can see it grow for a couple days in the beginning.
Instituting this immediately in my recycling efforts. Make em, sprout em and then give them away as presents. :D
May I ask why the rice husks? And are they necessary? Ty
Yup, i was looking for that also.
@@newaccount2970 I ended up googling it. I should have googled where to find rice husks. This is what Google said...
"Rice hulls are a popular substrate for gardening since they absorb liquid and are an environmentally sustainable drainage option. In fact, they are one of the most sustainable soil amendments available for greenhouse growers because they help improve drainage, water holding capacity, and aeration."
@@pennythatcher1306 Kewl. thanx for the followthrough
Can you show us how they look now? Thanks!
The white thing iyou put in it before planting was it rice thanks
No wonder mine rarely works. I just stuck bulbs in the ground and occasionally got lucky.
Thank you. Your way is pretty much guaranteed
Break the bulbs apart and stick the individual cloves in the ground about 3 inches deep 6 inches apart...you can't go wrong.
It would be good if the yield was also shown. I don't know if you only got the leaves of the plant from these.
Pensei a mesma coisa.
Yes,,agree 😊
I agree. Where is the finished product? And how long does it take to harvest? This video looks more ornamental than eatable.
Each of those little plants that sprouted from each clove will grow a whole new head/cluster of garlic.
@@ebmoore9192 u do not harvest anything - that will produce flower and then seeds, there will be no cloves under. For that u need to plant a seed
This is an awesome idea, thank you for sharing 🥰. What are you spreading on and mixing in the soil please?
Rice husks
Wow amazing container method for those who need a space for this & cannot plant in soil. Great for decks!
bad thing is that growing or eating in petro-plastics is no good for health.
Hi dear, first time I am watching this chanal. very interesting this video. Defeneatly I will also try this. thanks for upload this video 👍
Do you have to change the water?
What is the stuff you sprinkled on the soil? How long it takes for the garlic onion to form?
According to the information that displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen - it was rice husks.
I Googled it to find out why. It's a biodegradable material good for organic farming. It provides a few nutrients, but its main purpose is to keep the soil aerated.
Chiming in from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦, where our high today is 12°C as I type this @ 5:15 pm MST. And there's the possibility of SNOW in the forecast.
Happy May 21st/22. Of COURSE it's the Victoria Day long weekend. Gasoline prices went up $0.10/L which is more than it usually goes up before a long weekend - but with the way it's going - they might not come back down. Scary!
Continue to stay safe everybody!
Would wood chips do?
@@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!
@@lesleyanneellis5818 I think sawdust would do the same but IDK about wood chip I think they're too thick for the planting soil
Yo pongo la cabeza de ajo sobre copas con agua y da el mismo resultado.... gracias
Would’ve been great to see the final crop
Wow... My best friend, Nice video... Beautiful place Enjoy watching this video... Have a nice day.
YES! Superb video at exactly the right time! Going to try it directly.
It would be better if you tell the what sort of fertilizer did you use.
Hopefully organic.
Just plain water for the 1st wk id say. Then a 1/4 strength mix of a 2 part hydroponic feed. Ph 6
@@jenniferwalsh4725 is there fertilizer that isn't organic? I thought all fertilizer comes from organic material.
Super mais nous ne savons pas quelles sont les graines blanches que vous avez mises ???
چلتوک برنج
Rice husk
Falaram que é arroz mais está mais parecendo a palha do arroz
Stop cutting towards your hand Eeee! Knife safety! Always cut away and if you start angling around towards your hand then REGRIP! Please don’t cut yourself! 🫣
I subscribed to your Terrace Garden. The Garlic video was perfect, but I missed the comments. Whatever is shown in this video, comments are also an important part which viewers can learn. Thanks
Just water? What did you sprinkle on the soil?
I tried it and it's so amazing to see how much it's growing so quickly and I dig it 😘😌🤗
I hope you had a beautiful day.??!!!!!!!
Quiero saber si el ajo da bien en lugar q. No es frio. Esta muy bonito su cultivo la felicito
Why did she make me nervous using that box cutter
It’s a he.
She switched to scissors soon after.
It’s a man- “he,” not “she.” 😏
Wonder what each plant produces!!!
One bulb .
Probably garlic. Just spitballing here.
@@Frostrazor Have a good day today. Keep smiling.
Your hard work is paying off beautifully
Thank you. Looks like you have a very nice garden
Thank you for posting. We don’t need music. You should speak and explain what you’re doing, why, when and what to expect from the final harvest. Example, why are you adding rice to the soil?
Rice... mhh i think its is wood shreds...mhhh for better airfiltration.. mhhh
Often times the person making the video doesn’t speak English. It’s pretty common. If I were among a video for, say, Korean distribution, I’d likely add music and text and not even try to talk, too.
Super nápad!!!! Páči sa mi to ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
wow this is so neat, want to try that some day. Love it 😊
Been thinking of using my thin film hydroponics system to grow garlic, so this method is fine for establishing rooted cloves prior to planting in hydroponics. Cloves will hang in small baskets above the thin film of flowing nutrients which only the roots will touch.
I know garlic takes a very long time to mature, but perhaps hydroponics will greatly speed things up. I've grown peppers and herbs with astounding success in my system. All indoors, controlled conditions, etc. Keeps me occupied in the winter months.
Wow so beautiful ❤❤
What can you use instead of rice husks?
I am not experienced, but I imagine wheat bran could work well and it is not expensive.
