[@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]

[@AJ603]

easy steps. first, get a pot and fill it with 1000 things you probably don't have around your house. this is important because garlic hasn't been growing in dark soil by itself since before people. Here's easy steps, dark soil, plant your clove, water, (mulch if you want). done. This has been my TED talk

[@johnkozaczok3713]

Please do an experiment on " grounding" your bag or pot of growing different crops as beets, tomatoes and carrots or whatever you think would be best. I appreciate all your thoughts and efforts. Keep being yourself and doing what you do. Thanks for "all your videos.

[@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!! 😆

[@yesyes9698]

@@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 am so surprised, I expected the carrot to be the last one to start sprouting, not anything else have germinated… I’ll wait and see, and only saw some minor cracks on the soil and a little bit of shrinkage, but it fixed with water. I’m scared, let see how the week develops. Thanks very much

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

Do you water often?

[@nichole399]

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

[@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.

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

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.

hehehe he said horri xD

[@arjunk2223]

Sir how many days will it take to grow

[@jamee_maree]

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.

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.

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.
