All from 3mm (1/8th inch?) of a single kitchen scrap 😉 The bees also love the allium flowers, so it's win win all around.

@@georgeprout42 It's an "interesting technique" because most typical gardening techniques are optimizing for yield size or frequency of yield. Of course this is what nature does, but that doesn't mean you get as much garlic or as often, though if that's not your primary concern then it may work for you. So yeah, it's definitely easier, but you won't get as much of a harvest. It's a trade-off.

Great garlic. I have grown softneck many times, usually from store bought organic garlic. Sometimes I will harvest it while it is still “green”, often called Mexican garlic bulbs in the groceries stores. That garlic is very mild and can be used just as you would green onions - great in salsas! BTW: You can save the garlic “chips” as they are instead of making garlic powder. Just put in a morter and pestal and gring them as you need them. You can also roughly chop them and use them as a garnish, in soups and stews or make your own “everything bagel” seasoning!

I grind with a cheap coffee grinder and sift it over canning funnel into jar. The coarse pieces either go back into the grinder or stored as granulated garlic. I reuse the silica packs from sushi nori to keep my garlic powder from clumping. For replanting, use your biggest best cloves for the largest bulbs. You never need to buy seed garlic again except to keep collecting more varieties. I'm guilty of growing 12 hardneck varieties.

I just harvested my first-ever garlic crop. I had procrastinated planting it so it wasn't in the raised bed until December 28, 2020. So far, I harvested the soft neck - Early Italian Red. Unfortunately, I did this right before finding this video, so I already cut off the top half of the leaves and all the roots. Then I tied them together and hung them outside under an awning to dry. Hope they'll come out OK. One mistake I made was letting water onto them after their leaves were brown and they were fallen over. Would have been better to let them stay completely dry in the ground. The heads are a bit small, likely due to how late I planted them? But they're very tasty! I had no pest troubles. Nothing seemed to want garlic - just like nothing wants all the onions. I love alliums.

I am wondering if I will be able to freeze dry them whole and perhaps reconsititute them or just throw the whole pieces into soups?? One thing we did last year was make black garlic. I was wondering, have you tried this out? It was our first time making it last year and we were successful at turning it into black garlic by using our dehydrator and putting the garlic bulbs into jars. It was pretty time consuming but from the reading and research I did on it... this was the easiest way for us. We did have to tend to it everyday in some manner but it turned out great.

Yay for garlic! Harvesting mine Thursday. We had a lot of rain last night so letting it dry a bit. Bottom 3 leaves are dried and withered, 4th is starting to dry. 4 varieties, Majestic, Great Northern, Susan Delafield and Red Rezan. 210 (207 now as I pulled 3 test cloves and ate them) cloves await!

Yum garlic! Kevin are you able to do an update video on your shed how you have it setup, the tools. I’ve just refurbished my shed and I need some inspiration on layout for shelves, hanging garden tools etc

In my childhood we added some rice to the salt to keep it dry and prevent clogging. Maybe it could work with garlic powder too and you don't need those silica bags then..
