Asalamualaikum vaijan wow mashoallah nice video 💕👌👌🌱
Walaikum salaam, jazakallah khair
Beautiful vdo I fully enjoyed just like a movie involved in ur great vdo beautiful recording ♥️👍🎶ur hard work is appreciated slways
I'm so glad you liked it
Thanks so much...I have been wanting to grow garlic in my yard, in southern California, since we enjoy eating it so much. funny thing, is I have been growing "society garlic" in my planter areas for the ornamental beautiful purple flowers, for many years, and we even enjoy eating them along with nasturtium's in our salads often. They are delectable and look pretty too! TFS Lil hugs
Garlic is such an easy plant to grow and so satisfying. You should definitely give it a go
Thanks for video about planting garlic. I just planted a small patch. I really like your cardboard method but we have a really big problem with slugs here and they like to hide under cardboard. I think that I will mulch with leaves and temporarily cover with a tarp during winter. Good reminder about the birds in the spring; I’ll need to use row cover then so that they don’t yank up the garlic sprouts.
I have issues with slugs but I don't think it's anything to worry about with plants like garlic and onions. Leaves under the tarp will be perfect for the worms to do their magic!!!
Asalamu alaikom brother,i really wanted to ask you about growinf a flock of chicken in order to start a small project of bio egg selling,do you have any tips to share with me about feeding and in how much time can i for example start from 10 chicken 1 rooster to like a flocks of 300 ? I mean Jazaka allahu khairan for any helpful tip for a beginner brother
Walaikum salaam, for good quality eggs you'd need to give them access to at least a square metre of space per bird, and regularly wormed. They need about 120g of feed each per day, mixed with grit and fresh water
@@MyFamilyGarden thank you brother baraka allahu fik
Wow- love this idea! I planted my fall garlic 3 days ago, I sure wish I had waited until I saw this. Next year though! Love hearing the kids in the background playing while your gardening. So cool they are interested and want to help! Reminds me of running around with my cousins when we were young picking weeds and helping grandpa in his vegetable garden.
It's great having them around. What you said is exactly what i'm hoping for , when they grow up they''ll remember gardening with their old dad
So good technique definitely do it..Btw beautiful kids god bless them ..
Thank you so much
I will be using market/shop garlicas well because I want my friends to see I'm not using special cultivars for any planting . I won't be able to plant this much though. Can you tell me what is different in planting onions Thanks ? Do you not bury the onions. I've seen some onions just sticking out.
I plant onions just below the surface with the tip pointing out, they can rot if they are too deep
Mashallah la Quwata illah billah brother looks like in your region ,there are big gardens.
What's the average price with 3 bed and nice size garden?
I have been more focused on the less space very less sun , stray cats in my area (who treat my garden as a dump 🙄) than to learn about actual tips how to increase my variety and harvest ...
Alhamdulillah, we're on a corner plot so the garden is bigger than average. Round my neighborhood they're about 200k. I'm going to do some do some videos on small space gardening soon insha'Allah

Great ideas and love seeing your children developing a love of gardening.
Thanks Christine, i think it's really important to have them involved
brother what is the advantage in this approach, like we can do it without cardboard as well.
You'll lose a lot of nutrients by leaving compost exposed. fom 8:50 i explain the reasons why i use this method. It protects the soil, acts as a weed barrier, creates a good enivronment for worms, protection from birds etc ...
Gr8 idea I will do the same
A really great video, great information on a great method. I look forward to putting this into practice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
interesting to see what you have to say about not liking compost so much as a mulch. I read about 'do nothing' growing by Masanobu Fukuoka and it blew my mind!
He's absolutely amazing, so many of his ideas are applied but sadly very rarely giving him credit
What is unbelievably shocking after reading and practicing "do nothing" growing. Is to observe farmers putting tractors/trailer and the likes, on the fields weighing in several tons! And do it by "tradition" a minimum of twice a year! Compacting the soil to levels never seen before. Anyway the manufacturers who sold them the tractors. Will quickly sell them soil rippers that goes deeper and deeper... That's been the tendency since the 30's. Heavier equipment to destroy things faster than on the previous year!
Farming greed and destruction, while building desertification, as been a really difficult tendency to reverse! The drought events on desert and other semi arid regions in California and elsewhere. Might, finally, light the bulb, that tells them that doing that and grow water hungry crops (like cotton or alfalfa) in the desert IS NOT a good idea! Sarcastic detail those crops are not even for direct Human feed. Mostly are for export to other countries! LOL 😂
Mashoallah so cute baby 👶
لا قوة الا بالله
Alhamdulillah may Allah protect him
ive bought the extra large garlic bulbs from tesco...planted a couple of weeks ago ..they have sprouted about 3 inches now..i covered with a simple frame covered in a poly sheet..hopefully they will be ok over winter...first time veg gardener..great video and info brother..👍
Brilliant, there's no need to cover garlic because they need the frost and the cold to help the bulb split
@@MyFamilyGarden
Thank you for the info ...learning more from you..🙂
Great technique! Your children are so lovely, such a helpful daughter, such a funny, cheeky little boy 🥰
Thanks Joanne, i'm very lucky to have them :)
My concern would be the cardboard being blown off and the garlic plants being damaged. I assume you either weight or peg it down.
Great to see your daughter helping you.
Once it get wet it'll very quickly settle and stay put, if it's not likely to rain then weighing it down would be a good idea. It's great having the kids involved, hopefully they'll keep someof it with them
I have a lot of snails in my garden and I think if I use this style they will hide under the cardboard.
I really like your videos, jazak Allah khair for sharing.
can i use this method for other crops? raised beds also?
Yes you can I use this when I don't have a lot of mulch on my beds or I'm not going to scatter seeds on top of the compost
We never run out of garlic and it's always in the ground. This summer we had so much garlic that we were chucking bushels of it into groundhog holes, and it still grew~
Wow that's amazing, it's such a beneficial plant
Salaams.
I planted my garlic bulbs last week and mulched over this with home made compost. I can see shoots coming through now....is this to be expected?
Walaikum salaa,. yes garlic will srout quite quickly at this time of year, it'll go dormant when the temperature drops
Jazak Allah
Hi what's the reason for placing cardboard over the bed, would this prevent weeds from growing? Kind regards
Yes, that's what i explained in the video, it stops weeds and stops the loss of nutrients from the compost amongs other things
Prevents weeds and insulates soil. the best bit of use this approach is that its cheaper than using the land scraping fabric. I have grown garlic from local shop bought garlic. I would advise that you purchase it from the small independent shops and buy it loose. Avoid those that are prebagged. You can also ask the shop keeper for unwanted cardboard so that you can get everything from one place.
Brilliant. I live in a flat in Bristol and don’t have a garden, but hopefully one day 🙏
Do you have a balcony? i'll be doing some videos soon on gardening in small spaces
Can you grow some in a pot on a windowsill? I know not quite the same thing but if this year has showed me anything, it’s that you can grow anywhere!
@@amyjanebennett81 hi Amy yes you can, each piece will need about 6 inches of space
I will try InshaAllah
Best of luck
السلام علیکم ورحمۃ اللہ وبرکاتہ
One question
Walaikum salaa, fire away
I think i planted garlic quite deep is that okay because it still hasn't sprouted it been nearly 2 weeks shall i dig em up
@@Owais7561 how deep, they want to be a couple of inches under. They'll come up when they're ready just give them time
Very interesting. I will definitely try this in my own gardens. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you like it, let me know how you get on
Thank you for sharing 👍❤
You're welcome
Great information, thank you for sharing. The kids really do make your videos!!
It's great having them involved, taking on valuable life skills
Nice one Monty.
Thanks Mags
👍🏻👍🏻
Just to let you know that I just harvested 200 garlic bulbs (2021) using this method. The bed was weed-free for the entire growing season and the garlic bulbs and clove sizes are the biggest I have produced in this garden. My bed is a no-dig 1m x 3m and I went for the high-density growing option in September 2020. I also used this method on my over winter onion bed and harvested hundreds of spring onions for months, and along with the garlic, I have harvested 50 full-size onions. Just to mention that when I put my cardboard down, I weighed it down with bricks and large stones first, then let the rain soak it which allowed the sellotape to come off easily and made cutting the holes in it a breeze. Once I planted the cloves, I dressed the top of the bed with homemade compost that had lots of big bits in it like wood chips. This weighed the cardboard down. I did have some midwinter issues when the neighbourhood fox tried to dig up the bed and this caused some of the cardboard to lift, but it was solved with more mulch on top. I will be doing this again in Autumn. Thanks for this video!
Fantastic, thanks for your feedback, really happy to hear of your success
What is high density growing method pls?
Is this shop bought garlic?
Yes it is
As always a brilliant and really informative video 😁 I was a little bit controversial and planted my garlic on the 31st of August. I'd planned to buy some sed bulbs but had one sprouting away on the fridge (very rare for me) and as the green was getting some length decided to just plant it. Fingers crossed my shop bought garlic grows OK 😊
I think you're going to have garlic long before the rest of us :)
Will be interesting to see - we've already had about 4 or 5 frosts up here in Scotland so far 😳
Can I just pop my order in now to save me growing any 😂
lol, that'll take the fun out growing :)
Do you think I could use this method with overwintering peas?
I don't see why not, I didn't get it on film but I have a row of broad beans in that bed
Only trouble with using a toilet box is when it rains it will flush away the garlic lol. good video
Lol as long as it leaves behind the manure
Good morning Mothin. Years ago I didn't remove the sellotape from the cardboard and I still find pieces occasionally. I did learn to remove it. It's almost time for me to plant my garlic as well. Best wishes Bob.
Hi Bob, it takes so long to brek down and still appears from nowhere.
the cardboard will also insulate the soil within a certain degree.. the cloves will still be frosted to split, but the roots might benefit from warmer soil deeper down.this is only MY logic, monty...................brian
That makes total sense because one of the reasons for mulch is that it keeps soil warmer in winter and cooler in summer
Do you think ,these centipede are good for soil or just earthworms.
Also sometimes oranges get fungus in the compost?? Genius idea of growing garlic , that way even cats can't dig it out. Hahaha. Do you think crows are smarter , I'm doing cat psychology and I am surprised to see how they behave 😂😂
and May Allah give you barakah .
Ameen. What's cat psychology?
Centipedes are important in the garden like most of the insects they break down dying plant material so add nutrients to the soil.
@@MyFamilyGarden cat psychology is my own definition.
Since last year I am seriously trying to stop them coming to my garden .
If I spray vinegar on the floor ,they jump from the other side of garden straight into pots ....I haven't given up and has made things difficult for
Them .
I call it cat psychology 😂😂
Lol. You can get some ultra sonic alarms that will deter them
Seems very time consuming. But definitely makes sense.
That's the drawback it does take time, if there was a way of me making several wholes at the same time it would be good
But it possibly makes up for it with the lack of weeding needed
@@danm7301 I agree.
I love your videos, but I also love watching your children interact with you just as much. Brings a smile to my face. They are a credit to you>
Thank you so much! I love having them involved with me, i'm lucky to have them
@@MyFamilyGarden they're lucky to have you, too.
You can also make square holes by cutting a cross. You are spot on about those crows, they can chase a row of seeds even if not marked out.
It's great that your daughter wants to get involved, Great video as always
She's absolutely brilliant like that, i'm a lucky man
This is awesome . I had it backwards. I would to cardboard than dirt hoping to get rid of weeds. I always had some, but I had told myself they didn't get good roots because of cardboard. This makes more sense to me. Thanks for sharing a different way of planting.Will this work also for other plants?
Thank you, it's good to put a layer of card down first when starting a new bed but it's very important to cover the compost and protect it from the elements, so if you made it like a sandwhich it would be better. It will work with almost any plant. I normally do this if i don't have other mulch on the beds, I normally i have woodchips on top of the compost.
@@MyFamilyGarden Thank you your insight is a blessing. Thank you.
Thank you so much have wanted to grow garlic for a while, saw this video yesterday and have planted my garlic this afternoon, excited for the end product! :)
👍👍👍
Does anyone know what the bird is in the background five minutes in?
Did you mean the high pitch bird song @ 5:28 ? It sounds like a finch or a blue tit, there were a couple around as i was working looking for the worms
@@MyFamilyGarden yes! Thank you!
Hi buddy where did you buy that garlic from ??
Just my local grocery shop
For £5
@@from_plot_to_plate_no_dig I think it's 1.80 ish a kilo
Mashallah
Did my onions like this one year and the ground squirrels decimated them. Just burrowed under and hollowed them out. It’s craziness to watch your onions wilt and die like a plague is passing over them. Everything else did well with the cardboard but my poor onions, oh the horror!🤣🤣🤣
What are ground squirrels? i get the normal grey squirrel digging up the garden and burying their nuts..
@@MyFamilyGarden like chipmunks but cheekier😄
@@MyFamilyGarden I forget there is a small fauna difference between the two countries
Cool! Me and my wife will be planting garlic soon so I'll have to keep this method in mind! Thanks for sharing
I hope it helps with your planting
Good idea
Thanks Caroline
This is exactly what I’ve done with my garlic bed. It’s both a cheap weed barrier plus a great anti cat digging device. My kitty has a nasty habit of seeing any expanse of bare soil as a convenient kitty toilet. Wilko do cheap seed garlic as well (about £2-3) for 2 or 3 bulbs. Might be worth looking at if u want to broaden the varieties you grow. Good to know the supermarket stuff grows just as well tho. I planted a lovely stripy variety from Sainsburys, so hopefully should turn out some nice bulbs 😊
It's a really good technique to protect the soil and as it breaks down it feeds the soil.
Great ideas , and kids learn from father ma shaa Allah .
Does the cardboard act as a weed suppressant as well as keeping the soil warm, very interesting method
Yes absolutely, most mulch will supress weeds and insulate the soil but it will also protect the compost and give the worms cover to work under
Garlic has So Many Qualities!!!!
Enjoy your Channel Very Much.
TC n Stay Safe You and Yours 💛👍s
✌🌐💛
Absolutely it's amazing stuff, nice of you to say
Fascinating method Mothin! Never seen anyone else doing it like this, very very cool.
I bet you were glad when that job was finished. I will look forward to seeing how they grow. Take care 😊
lol it can be a bit tedious :)
Thank you for the tips and demonstration! Adorable and happy kids :) Wish you and family radiant energy and abundant blessings! Will be searching your channel for lettuce tips. Thank you!
You're very welcome 😊, thank you so much for the kind words
the dandelion roots are so good for you
I've read that but i've not tried it yet...
Masha Allah
Salaam are straws okay to use as mulch brother?
Walaikum salaam, straw is a brilliant mulch but it needs to be quite thick and lacks some nutrition so some additional feed/manure/compost will be good to go with it
lol watching some of your videos, I have created a raised bed with a layer of woodchips, then horse manure, then compost and now straw.
Hope this works 😂
I have added some slow release fertiliser and will add feeds throughout the year. Hope am doing it right.
That sounds like a good mix that will be ready for next years planting
Another great video. A quick question though please. How do you ensure the cardboard doesn't blow away during winter winds? Wouldn't a small amount of mulch on top of the cardboard do the job of holding it down and also help the cardboard to rot a bit faster ?
Once the cardboard gets wet it will wheigh itself down somewhat, but you're right adding something to the top will keep it wheighed down.
Thanks for your videos I find them really helpful and interesting. Keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
Great video,I’m going to try your method but I’ve never grown garlic before is it to late to plant now,and if so when would be the best time. Thanks
I normally plant garlic in october because garlic needs a month or two of cold for the plant to bulb up porperly
Thanks for the great content. I have quite a small garden but want to plant garlic this year. Any advice for translating this to containers?
This same method can be used for planting garlic in containers, just make sure the container is at least 6inches deep
Nice video 💯💯💯
Thanks for the visit
Another good and helpful video. Thank you Martin.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have any advice re cats? I planted my garlic sets a couple of weeks ago and the neighbourhood cats have dug half of them up 😭
Some people say use netting but i prefer using twigs or prunings placed accros the beds on the soil like a trellis,
Mashallah a very unique idea
Jazakallah khair, i'm glad you like it
I was fooled by the special garlic bulbs. Next year I will do shop brought.
If I bought seed garlic for the amount I grow it just wouldn't be worth it
Good idea brother 👍
Jazakallah khair
Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing your easy to follow tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Salam bro, do you guys make lasan (garlic and bajra roti) during the cold months? You'll need your garlic to be around 8-10 weeks old. We've planted some already but will be clearing the bed this weekend so that we can prep it as you've done above both in our raised bed and a large planter that was home to tomatoes earlier. What companion plant would you recommend alongside the garlic?Bilal
Walaikum salaam, I've not heard of Lasaan before i'll ask my wife about it. I have a dedicated bed like this for the garlic but i plant it amongs nearly everything there aren't many plants that garlic is not a good companion plant with. I had them growing with beans, cabages, tomatoes, squash so most of my beds are very mixed
@@MyFamilyGarden ah that's cool. I have some spuds in the bed so I will not disturb them but will fill it with garlic as we use it a lot.
Salam. Just wanted to let you know I followed your method today. I used the card board trays that come in apple boxes. The centres of each apple are approx 4" apart which makes it ideal.
Walaikum salaam, that's great mashallah, good thinking with the apple trays,
@@MyFamilyGarden I'd suggest that to others if they can get hold of it. I have planted 60 cloves. Should do well insha'Allah.
I bought my garlic from farmers market. The farmer said he's been using the same type in our area for many years and he was very reasonable with price. He also suggest that i put a few cloves in all of my over winter, mini greenhouses to deter mice. I have squirrels too. I'm just getting to it today. I was wondering if you have heard of that or tried in your greenhouse. Thank you for sharing your experience. May God, who made heaven and earth keep us in His grace, deliver from evil and perfect us in tribulation
Sounds like a good supply. I like to plant garlic and onions in amongst most of my plants to help deter pests inside and outside
@@MyFamilyGarden Hi Adora. I have same problem as you, in my allotment. Problem with demon suirrels and pigeons. I have to cover brassica and garlic with nylon netting, until 4inch tall, I then remove the netting.
Cardboard method is good, I shall be using it now, in the past I bought degradable plastic, which was expensive. Regards. Joginder
Loving your style. Simple and straightforward.
Keep it up
Thanks Steve, hope you enjoyed the live tonight
@@MyFamilyGarden as said before. Your vids are good.
Love it
thank you
smashing lovey kids you are blessed.
They're a good bunch, lucky to have them
Great video. Do you buy a specific type of garlic and do you only plant the larger pieces? Thanks
I just grow bulbd from the grocery shop and plant it all
@@MyFamilyGarden thank you
Great idea. How do you store your garlic once it's ready? There's alot of garlic. Freeze it maybe?
That's just one of my beds, garlic is the one thing we're self sufficient in. I plait the strong bulbs and hang them in the shed, but freeze the weaker ones
@@MyFamilyGarden mine always sprout before I can use it. How long can you store them? Do they need to be in total darkness? Thanks. You've motivated me again. I'm going to have to get back in the garden today. 🤣
Hi monty, if i was also to use shop bought garlic, what county of origin would etc should i be looking for when buying it & is it to late to plant garlic now? 👍👍👍
It doesn't really matter that much, but garlic from china or eastern europe is good because it's grown in a similar climate. I just get whichever my local grocers have in stock at the time as long as the bulbs look healthy it grows well. Still plenty of time, i'd say anytime as long as the ground is not frozen up until mid Feb
@@MyFamilyGarden many thanks again knowledge is power 💪👀👂
I recommend you change to B&W newsprint / newspaper. The glues in the cardboard are not likely desirable soil amendments for food plants. You indeed have a grand concept - maybe you can get the University, or other, to analyze the soil. In the interim, switch to overlapped tiling using damp newspaper. Don’t use any pages with color ink - unless you know what’s in the ink. I expect you’ll be able to create a newspaper mat and punch holes in it quicker than your hole cutting, too.
MashaAllah
We've been allotmenting for ten years + and had ok success with garlic, just seen your video and realised we've been doing it wrong! Thanks for sharing your tips, you're a legend 😁🌱
Great tips thank you! Will try this way, I don’t have much luck with Garlic or onions, I think more compost. Your children are adorable! 😊
Thank you. Lovely children too. Love to grow garlic in my back garden, some in pots.
Though hapen not as easily accessible as in the country, or even then , so much these days, my Dad used to have a couple of tractor bucketfuls of straw held farm manure brought by a local farmer every other year or so which he swore by for his gardening/growing intentions. He'd always relied upon kitchen fed compost patch additions to the soil before then - well rotted stuff from the heap base.
Great job monty and your daughter doing a great job catch you on the next one
thanks mate, are you planting any this year?
@@MyFamilyGarden yes got some shop bought garlic will be getting planted next week
I'm really looking forward to do what I have observed to practice on my patch.
Might be an idea to use a circular cutter on a drill to make the job of cutting the holes in the cardboard quicker. Nice video and thanks for the tips.
You could carve a cross and fold it away.. maybe even easyer..
that's a really good idea
@@MyFamilyGarden thank you!
Wish I’d seen this before I planted mine in November! Great idea! 👍🏼
Assalamu alaikum, brother I put garlic first time, want to know how long dose it take
walaikum salam, it should be ready by next june
Jazak’Allah brother, might need more help with my plants I’ll mesg u later
U hve face book page brother?
Im in the French Alps and have just planted a couple of rows of garlic out, I didnt plant enough last year - we eat ALOT of it too! Im hoping 2 rows might last a few weeks :D !
I managed to harvest about 60kg this year
@@MyFamilyGarden do you only plant the once - 60kg is alot!? I bought some organic garlic bulbs but was also lucky enough to have one of this years harvest create a seed bulb - I was SO excited - but I have replanted it between my garlic cloves as I would have been gutted if it didnt grow so this way I wont know! I have seen a technique that freezes the bulbs in a bag of soil for a few weeks to make them think its been winter, then plant them around May for a later harvest, but I dont think that would work here as our growing season is so short. p.s. your little one is SO cute lol! Upstaging you completely!
I've still got some more bed to plant, we probably had the best year this year. Then I'll plant random cloves amongst everything else.
I wouldn't try two crops in a year garlic really needs the longer days to bulb up.
The kids are just brilliant,
@@MyFamilyGarden @My Family Garden ah... planting in between.. good tip! Im a bit OCD on my neat rows though lol! I had rogue beetroots and flowers in my beans and lettuces this year, no idea how it happened! Your daughter is lovely, but your little one really made me smile with his cheeky look and nudging you!
Great video love your channel good luck my friend 🤝
1:38- have you tried Dandelion tea? HUMONGEOUS health benefits. Well worth looking into. PEACE
