[@brainworms]

Why y'all gotta make gardening look so difficult a d expensive. You don't need special soil or all that fancy stuff unless there's a certain outcome you're hoping for. Your regular soil will work just fine, just make sure to swap crops between so it gets nutrients replaced back into it. It's not difficult. Peace and love,

[@kqdwills]

It's expensive. Everything went up. And growing in the desert is not easy. I use all the organic matter that my hands can reach from kitchen waste to weeds, bark, grass.... compost all the weed trees.... but I live in the high desert CA and I had to buy everything from raised beds materials to soil, fertilizes... and you know everything went up in prices. Gardening is expensive, Just ask everyone else.... If I live in the south east when a lot of greens around then the cost wouldn't be too much.

[@chelseaaguilar2525]

I like to place my used soil into the compost bin to get more nutrient back into the soil and so I can basically “recycle” the soil😆😂 idk if the science supports me but I believe it works because anytime I put any seeds into my compost bin, they start growing without me meaning to grow them

[@jamestomlin5525]

You don't even need to rotate your crops, just refresh the soil and you're good.

Very interesting, how you can just grow your own food, although it takes a while. It is beautiful it see it grow and develop. Really makes you appreciate how complex and elegant nature is.

I can remember when people used to grow things in dirt.

[@eh7602]

Yeah dude lol, 'easy steps', guy literally uses 90 dollars worth of soil to grow 1.30 dollars worth of garlic.

[@no2mob889]

Ummmm yeah. So much money to purchase the soil

[@vashman01]

Soil can be reused. The more times you use it, the cheaper it becomes. It also helps when you are composting and making your own soil. Gardening gets cheaper the more you do it.

[@phyllisshankle3540]

Some people don’t have enough “dirt” to grow anything or space. Containers are the way to go, especially if you live in an apartment. I loved my balcony garden.😊

At what time of year do you grow garlic in containers? I usually plant my garlic in the ground in fall, but I am very interested in growing in containers.

[@Userjdjddss]

Winter

[@ForbiddenFish]

it also depends on what zone you are

[@mrcallitlikeitisfan2788]

Good info

[@mcgritty8842]

I feel like there should’ve been a lot more emphasis on the “next summer” part 😂 do you keep watering them until next summer?

[@deelee4639]

What time do you start growing garlic

[@ayeshaiqbal8888]

I’ve failed to grow garlic twice now Only leaves grow and the bulb doesn’t develop 😢

[@garyreynolds9780]

Need to wait till the leaves turn brown and die I've grown my first lot this year and got great results even tho I overwatered a little I think Good luck

[@meepmeep7165]

Wait for half the leaves to go brown then pick it. Make sure you cut the garlic scape else all the energy goes to the plant and not developing the bulb

[@joedaddy8044]

Plant 3 weeks before first frost and don't harvest until the next year, around June give or take . Works everytime

[@tombryant4518]

Are you planting hard neck, or soft neck garlic?

[@Ed19601]

4 inches deep and then cover them with 4 onches so that adds up to 8 inches deep. Sounds a wee bit deep

[@honestlynate7922]

I've seriously growing garlic in almost every way possible. I would not waste a perfectly good container. You can literally just go dig a small hole anywhere there's dirt in a little bit of sun and that garlic will grow

[@fancyphantom8103]

Depends on climate

[@tinkertailorgardenermagpie]

Yes, jumped on here to ask “but WHY?!?” I guess only for those w/no yards/dirt (like apt dwellers), but still, I’d kamikaze grow it somewhere, planting it under the cloak of darkness.

[@patwagner9308]

WElllllll, um.....I have tried for years to grow garlic in a little garden space w/a little bit of sun & had 0 luck. The heads grown were not much bigger than a large clove. Very disappointing. This year, the leaves ended up w/little specks of black mold. So! This Fall I'm going to try Grow Bags & put them where there's more sun. Keeping fingers crossed that I have much better luck.

Groovy thank you

[@MindandSoil]

Gardening is groovy for sure! Thanks for watching :)

[@jameemaree4602]

Do homemade grow bags need drainage holes in bottom or does it seep thru the material for drainage? Also, will doing it the way you showed eliminate the need to go thru a winter before grow?

[@autumnstoptwo]

depends on if the material you used for your bag is porous or not. just test it out, if water can seep out then its fine and if not, add some holes. and garlic prefers a wintering period either way, to my knowledge the cold temps are what triggers the development of the flavor compounds iconic to garlic. softneck garlic has a short grow season, doesnt need to be wintered and can be planted in the spring, but will have a mellower flavor. the hardneck garlic that is most popular to grow for flavor, size, and hardiness needs the longer growing season and the winter.

[@nairadevi2182]

Can they be transferred to the soil if one wants? Or does that destroy their roots?

And when is the good time to plant the garlic?

[@slohivid]

I was researching and it says they like to be planted and left alone during the really cold season and then harvest towards end of spring/summer. I think it depends on where you live and the type of soil tbh

[@MindandSoil]

Great response! September to October is great timing for most areas :)

[@Man_Darino]

Did all of that planted in the middle of our mild spring after allowing to root indoors and I checked them yesterday they're singular Pearl like growths not cloves... any idea what I did wrong? Do the cloves develop from the bulb or ?..

[@rhondafster]

Hi, instead of leaf mulch, can I use wood chips?

[@Kkasandraa9]

No don’t use wood chips. They suppress plant growth. Use straw or hay mulch instead if you don’t have leaves. Or you can try to plant a bit deeper into the soil and use no mulch ( I do this)

[@yesyes9698]

will the worm casting produce worms as well?

[@MindandSoil]

Great Q! Not these ones as they are very finely sifted. But if you were home worm farming then 100%

[@Drualeaf]

Every now and then I find worms in my indoor containers from the worm castings I order from Amazon. It’s always exciting finding them!! 😆

@@MindandSoil thanks. I haven’t used worm casting. I’m new so I’m learning. I’m three days my first plant (carrot) germinated a beautiful seedling.

I’m scared, let see how the week develops. Thanks very much

Why does it need to be topped off with brown leaves? Do they not need sun? I'm growing garlic myself and they are sprouting quite a lot. I've never grown it before so I need all the knowledge I can get.

[@pamelah6431]

They're just a light mulch. The garlic will grow through that just as easily as through the the dirt.

[@rufinaseme6173]

Garlic is set in the ground right before winter, so by the time it starts growing in the spring, most of the leaves have broken down and become part of the soil. Garlic grows through what leaves are left

Worm castings are not needed, but what I find most interesting about this idea - which probably also works with onions - is that I can I can set these plants - which deter bugs and deer - among my berry vines and vegetables. I could even move them around. I companion planted my garlic and onions next to my tomatoes in a raised bed this summer and had literally no bugs. The tomatoes were beautiful.

[@StableNomad]

When should this happen? Is freezing a problem?

[@MindandSoil]

Great question! You want to plant in the fall (Oct-Nov) and it's okay if things go below freezing through the winter. TO further insulate them you could surround the container with rocks, burlap, leaves, or plant a bunch of them together to insulate one another!

[@Melmelba]

I checked your website and don’t see anything else about growing garlic.

[@doggnap]

Take total cost and divide by 9. Then realise it is cheaper just go buy some.

[@DanielLeivaCardozo]

True but to me gardening is also about the experience, not only about saving money. Also you get acces to many varieties with so many new textures and flavors. In the case of garlic there are about 600 varieties in the world and the stores only sell two of them which lack flavor but are easier to grow with a longer shelf life.

[@Greenacres1958]

It’s better for your body to grow them. No telling what they put on them in the growing centers.
