Wow.. keep recording like this (I know this is 5 years old, but still, I'm new) and I'll be back again and again. No wasting time, super informative, no odd camera angles, no flash intro.. in general, no headaches. This is how I wish EVERY learning video on UA-cam were and should be as you keep it super interesting, without adding distractions and garbage to "try" to grow an audience. You are like the flowers that the bees seek out.
Your closing remarks about perfection, "It doesn't matter how you do it, it's just THAT you do it" is insanely profound for my current life happenings hahaha thanks bro
I found the remark extra comforting because my family has a bad black thumb and knowing I can fuck up a little bit with the fresh garlic I let sit too long in my cupboard, comforts me. I hope all is well with everyone. Cheers
I dried my last harvest of garlic on my kitchen table. I really liked the smell of the fresh garlic but most people would probably find it too strong. During the month my garlic was drying, I had NO flies in the house =)
......no Vampires either ! Garlic is never too strong ! Full of Vitamins ! It's really medicinal too ! I'm growing potatoes in a container inside . Food prices going up & up . The real good thing is quality ! Garlic , Potatoes , and Onion . ......I could live on them ! Peace !
I tried planting garlic this way, last season...just one bulb, with about 8 cloves all up, as an after thought one day...and blow me down...they grew! At the same time I planted some bought baby onion "bulbs" to plant and really did just put the little onion bulbs on the soggy straw under the top drier straw...they grew too. I did it all wrong, at the wrong time, with the fresh straw, not aged straw, which I asked for, but as no one here in the Hungarian village understood me...they arrived with 3 of those huge round marshmallows of hay! It's Feb now, I just went to measure up a chook pen, where I had my straw gardens last year and about a dozen garlic clusters are growing with heaps of green tops about 4 inches high. I forgot about them after the excitement of growing a couple of garlics myself. I moved all 8 straw beds in early October, as I didn't check properly for full sun...all day, not half the day Mary! So now all 8 beds are in the middle of the paddock and I'm getting ready to start the year off much wiser, as I didn't understand the growing zones, soil temp etc, as I'm an Aussie, from stinking hot and humid Qld, living in Hungary, where it snows in winter. Yup, as he says in one of his videos...It's not how you do it...it's about doing it!
NEW SUBSCRIBER! This is the most complete garlic growing video I have come across. Now I’m gonna go back and watch ALL your other videos! Thank you from a fellow Canadian ☺️
I dry them upside down. Then the g-force helps water to run down, in lives. It shortens the drying time. Tie them together, or, even better, use some mesh with wide openings and insert every particular garlic thru hole, bulb upwards. Same goes for onions. Do not let bulbs to touch each other. You are great, so inspirational, thank you and continue the good work.
Do you braid them when they're green or after they've dried? I'm sure they're beautiful I've seen them in stores displayed this way! Thank you for sharing us that beautiful idea! I wish the very best to all who read this!
My family used to do a lot of farming in Cuba when we lived there. We would braid garlic as well. Can be done either dry or green. Ideally you would want to braid them while green so you can hang them all together to dry.
I enjoy your video because you are such a great story teller; you added a great intro, humor, and tips. Keep them coming! I am going to do my experiment with garlic, ginger and other root veggies.
I liked that. It was succinct and concise without a lot of extraneous waffle, but packed with helpful information and visual explanations. As a 'tutorial' it was spot on. I eat every part of the garlic, including the flowers (raw on salads) & young stems which are like a sweet, hot spring onion. Garlic is exceptionally good for you.
These videos are awesome and very informative. Ive grown organic veggies and fruits for about 35 years and have learned easier ways from your videos..thank you
Awesome. I have maybe 3-4 hundred garlic plants in my yard growing wildly and even though the bulbs are much smaller since they are crowded, I have an endless amount of scapes, bulbs, and dehydrated garlic, powder, and salt throughout the year. I *love* garlic. Eventually I plan on buying property in a more homesteading kind of fashion and growing garlic more systematically is definitely on the top of my list.
You guys rock! I'm in northern alberta - just learning to do no till on our new acreage. Ive been pouring over your videos - thank you for all the detail, its made this journey much easier!
Here in the Pacific Northwest I dry my garlic on a 4' x 6' frame covered with 1" mesh chicken wire. It is large enough for my entire crop of 200+ heads. I cut the stems, leaving about 3", then place them stem side down with enough space in between for air to flow. I have the frame supported on milk crates so it is sufficiently off the ground. The frame is under a large Douglas fir to protect it from the sun. I leave the bulbs out for about 3 weeks. To store them inside, I use a similar method, though the storage unit is 2'x2' with 5 shelves vertically spaced. It is large enough to store all the heads that I won't be using for seed stock. For that I choose the heads that are around 3" in diameter. This is hardneck garlic, not elephant garlic. For the past dozen years I have been planting the largest cloves from the largest heads, so the result has been by design.
Next year trying braiding the garlics together into a rope. (Use 3 strands of twine, 1 for each strand and add the bulbs like a French braid. This is for strength of the braid for storage). This is simpler/quicker than individual bunches & easy to hang in your winter storage area later and just twist off a bulb as you need it. Good luck & thanks for your video 😀.
I have never seen any of your videos before, but I'm going to subscribe. This was so clear and simple, well-paced; and I love your attitude: it's not how you do it...it's that you do it. Anything worth doing is worth doing, even imperfectly. I'm a novice gardener and even though I've made plenty of mistakes in the last couple of years, it amazes me how much nature knows what she's doing!
Victoria B ditto! I’ve not seen this channel previously and I’m subscribing too! I’m an experienced gardener, and I’m drawn to all things garden-themed, natural-method, and northern. Love this!
I remember Ruth Stout and her no-dig gardening method, it was a winner 50 years ago and likely still is. I used it to grow herbs for market and it's such a great way to garden. And yes, it may take a couple of years to get the soil working well, but then you're set for years to come. Read Ruth Stout's book if you can find it........
I grow garlic in my house, in a window box inside the window. The green stems are the bomb. I uses them like chives and scallions. They have a combination flavor.
I watched this last year and in October and planted garlic in generic potting soil, covered up with a boatload of leaves that fell. I just pulled the bulbs a few minutes ago and they are *massive* and fragrant. I cannot wait to do this again this year. Thank you for helping to educate me and better improve myself.
exactly - harvest the garlic when the bottom leaves are already brown and dried up but the middle and top leaves are still green. That's the exact moment to harvest garlic!
OMG i just love your attitude, " whats most important is THAT you do it NOT how you do it" just love it.....now lets show my hubby your video and see what he thinks about doing it this way, and i know exactly where i would like to plant it too
Super awesome video!!! I LOVE GARLIC. But I've never grown it before. I am excited to give it a go this year with your method! Thank you for your easy-to-follow video.
I conducted an experiment a few years ago and harvested about 50 heads per-scape and the other 50 heads two weeks after I cut off the scapes. The post-scape bulbs were at least another 1/3 as large as the prescapes, and in some cases, a good 50% larger.
The only thing I disagree with is a small thing, you said the paper cover will split because the garlic grew to big. After 7 years of growing my on garlic(about 6 varities ) I left a few rows in to long & all the paper covers had rotted away & I had to process all of it to keep the cloves from rotting. I never layed cloves on top of soil, so I learded something new also. Always save the large clove for planting & eat the small cloves. The large the clove the larger the bulb in summer.
Thank you! You two are so awesome!! All the hay my dad has, and loves gardening out on the farm, this is the best! I shared it with him and my family!!
Fantastic! Tried growing garlic many times unsuccessfully. Best video I've seen so far on this subject, simple, straight to the point but explains everything from planting to harvest. Never got a clear idea of when it was time to pull them out or how long it took to grow. Many thanks.
One of the best videos I have seen on permaculture. I can't wait to try this now in the fall. I have access to a farm for resources and I can't wait to have our own backyard harvest. I already have wild garlic in spring and wild onions in fall but I am excited to finally plant on our property. What a great experiment!Thank you for sharing with all of us. God bless your harvest. New subbie!
Finally got my first tropical garlic harvest, it is way different to do it here, I'm not even at 1500m+ of altitude where they are usually grown, I'm at just 650m, and from the information I have gathered I have seen that first you need them to sprout in peat or loose soil, when they break the dormancy at about a month, then you prepare your soil, and after about 4 months they are ready to harvest, same as you say, a couple of leaves turning yellow or when the necks fold like on oinons. If I had a drier climate I would just grow them right after a month of drying, but as it rains 3500mm I need to wait for the dry season for another harvest.
Dude, I grew the best taters this year following your recommendations. All were Sto Bought Taters that I let go to seed. Will give this Garlic method a try this fall. Keep up the videos, and I bought Purple Sto bought taters and and the really produced and even impressed my friend Girl.
This video was very informative. I live in the tropics, and always wondered if garlic would grow. So I’ll give it a try with this method. Thanks very much.
I have found that pealing garlic cloves and placing them in a baggie with a piece of dry paper towel causes them to grow roots rather than shoots AND KEEPS THEM FROM BEING BITTER for cooking. I experimented & plopped some in a pot of soil and they took right off. LOVED THE TIP: Small cloves produce small bulbs; large cloves produce larger bulbs.
Hello ...nice video.. we live at 60degrees north in Sweden ( like Anchorage ,AK) we discovered some good hard neck garlic at a local garden shop about 4 years ago.. now we are up to over 500 planted this past October (2018)and we started about 50 at our new place in Transylvania :-)
This is a great adventure story. I wish you guys all the success you deserve. I'm in Australia and our seasons are 6 months different from yours, so the lessons you learn I can pretty much apply as soon as I see the video. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Lol. People still believe that rumor. I started it over a thousand years ago. We, oh I mean, vampires love garlic it cleans the blood. So eat plenty of garlic, it keeps the vampires away.
@@bjfifi Do you not get the joke? He is hinting that HE is a vampire, and vampires actually loves garlic, and vampires themselves started the rumor to GET people to eat garlic, while people THINK it keeps vampires away, vampires actually LIKE people to eat garlic.
You guys are living the dream, well at least my dream. I sincerely wish that everything goes great and all your harvests bountiful. Only complaint I have is that you guys don't upload enough. :)
Another common way to dry them is to braid them up. Look up garlic/onion/shallot braiding techniques and you'll find a few videos out there with some great tips. Not only does it work, it also looks very attractive hanging in the pantry or kitchen.
The garlic they showed was hardneck. Braiding is done with softneck varieties. Other differences: Softneck stores longer. Hardneck is more cold-hardy. Softneck contains several rows of cloves, becoming smaller towards the center of the bulb, while hardneck is composed of only one row of larger cloves.
Used to weave the fresh harvested garlic into like a rope a head of garlic right next to the other. Ease of storage and you can hang it in the kitchen for ease of access.
I dig trenches about 6 inches deep or so sift a small amount of soil into them. Plant the cloves and cover them with chopped maple leaves. Even in Arkansas, I plant them in the fall. To dry them I hang them upside down in my garage. This is exactly the same method to grow shallots and multiplier onions, too. Onion sets are not usually available here in the fall, but you can plant them in the fall too. If you can find them.
Wow.. keep recording like this (I know this is 5 years old, but still, I'm new) and I'll be back again and again.

What a wonderful comment. Thanks so much!
@@BackToReality Of course! It's my pleasure and your efforts in this deserve to be applauded! I look forward to learning with you!
How often do you need to water the garlic?
He's a natural teacher. No fluff, yet kept it interesting. Good Job!
Your closing remarks about perfection, "It doesn't matter how you do it, it's just THAT you do it" is insanely profound for my current life happenings hahaha thanks bro
Same. Best wishes Jeffrey!
Likewise. The advice I didn't know I needed. Thank you!
Tech Stuf, no doubt about it. But it’s nice to find so much tried and true techniques. Especially for us Northerners
I found the remark extra comforting because my family has a bad black thumb and knowing I can fuck up a little bit with the fresh garlic I let sit too long in my cupboard, comforts me. I hope all is well with everyone. Cheers
The important thing is making the garlic boys, that’s all that matters here
I dried my last harvest of garlic on my kitchen table. I really liked the smell of the fresh garlic but most people would probably find it too strong. During the month my garlic was drying, I had NO flies in the house =)
Jon ooooh I’ll have to try that!
oh Awesome idea, thanks😉
Jon and no guests. Lol
......no Vampires either ! Garlic is never too strong ! Full of Vitamins ! It's really medicinal too ! I'm growing potatoes in a container inside . Food prices going up & up . The real good thing is quality ! Garlic , Potatoes , and Onion . ......I could live on them ! Peace !
Do you think it'll have similar results with fire ants? A colony has set up near my rosemary..
I love nothing more than nice wholesome channels like this

Wonderful pep talk at the end. Great attitude to have and spread! 🙏
I'm Tuscan we make braids with at least 10 heads of garlic then we hang then, then take up less space and are decorative 😊
Do you braid them when they're green or after they've dried? I'm sure they're beautiful I've seen them in stores displayed this way! Thank you for sharing us that beautiful idea! I wish the very best to all who read this!
I thought it was too dry on Tattooine to grow garlic
My family used to do a lot of farming in Cuba when we lived there. We would braid garlic as well. Can be done either dry or green. Ideally you would want to braid them while green so you can hang them all together to dry.
Garlic braids work really well with Softneck varieties. Hardneck varieties (like the ones they grew here) are too stiff to braid well.
They will grow like that? How do you braid them? Can you show us. TY :)
I enjoy your video because you are such a great story teller; you added a great intro, humor, and tips. Keep them coming! I am going to do my experiment with garlic, ginger and other root veggies.
I did it last year and my family have homegrown garlic for the first time. I am ready to plant it again. I use sawdust. Thank you for instructions.
I think your channel is excellent!! You have enough geekiness to keep it feeling technical and not farmy. Nice seeing your wife! Ball of energy.
Excellent presentation! No wasted time fumbling for words, organized, lots of info, upbeat & succinct. Thank you 👍

Best video I have watched on growing garlic 🧄!!!!! Thank you very much you made it look very easy doesn’t look like you need lots of effort 😊
Watched a few Back To Reality vids now. And now I subscribed. I like your attitude.
I just discovered your channel and I have to say it is one of the clearest and most enjoyable to watch among all the permaculture videos out there
My goodness, thanks so much!
What a wonderful example of how to do it, and make a really cool timeline video of it. Many thanks !

Yeah, that's great. I do the same - plant a whole garlic bulb and then cut the green stems just as you said. They are the bomb, really. 👍
Thanks so much for the effort to document months worth of work, edit and create animation for clarity! So so so helpful for someone new like me!

Hi. I'm Asha from Mauritius. Your videos and their content are simply mind blowing. God bless you two always. Happy permaculturing friends.
Absolutely beautiful garlic bulbs..
Every year I plant the largest bulbs from the previous season and I love the results. Great video, thanks!
The only thing I disagree with is a small thing, you said the paper cover will split because the garlic grew to big. After 7 years of growing my on garlic(about 6 varities ) I left a few rows in to long & all the paper covers had rotted away & I had to process all of it to keep the cloves from rotting. I never layed cloves on top of soil, so I learded something new also. Always save the large clove for planting & eat the small cloves. The large the clove the larger the bulb in summer.

Great lesson in life- it’s not how you do it - just that you do it! ❤️
Thanks for taking the time for the animations and editing
Used to weave the fresh harvested garlic into like a rope a head of garlic right next to the other. Ease of storage and you can hang it in the kitchen for ease of access.
I am really enjoying and learning from your videos! Thanks for sharing what you learn. I love the way you approach this as experiments!
I dig trenches about 6 inches deep or so sift a small amount of soil into them. Plant the cloves and cover them with chopped maple leaves. Even in Arkansas, I plant them in the fall. To dry them I hang them upside down in my garage. This is exactly the same method to grow shallots and multiplier onions, too. Onion sets are not usually available here in the fall, but you can plant them in the fall too. If you can find them.
Awesome video, I can’t WSIT to plant some garlic! Starting today 😉👍🏽😉 🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄
