- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2022
- Container Garlic. Has there ever been a more perfect crop to grow in pots or containers? As a perfectly predictable crop, garlic is so well-suited to container growing that once you give it a try, you may never grow it any other way!
Today, let's talk about everything we need to know to grow garlic in containers successfully. There are some issues we need to look at when growing in smaller setups such as exposure and drainage...but nothing we can't solve.

In the beginning- (about 1:30 ish) where you point up (to the top right hand corner / link to specific video) the link hasn't popped up for several videos now.
Is this on my end / yours...?!
@@99thmonkeyresonance66 I'll check out right now! Grrrrr..... TH-cam!
I like the way you do these videos. No loud music, no messing around, just good information. thank you so much
Hey thanks Gary, appreciate that! :-)
I agree. Nothing makes a video unwatchable faster than loud elevator music.
I have never had success in growing garlic. After watching your video I can see how I was doing it all wrong! Thanks for such an excellent video with easy to follow instructions. ❤😊
I think you got this now....what zone are you growing in?
I have had the same problem with growing garlic. The last two years I have ended up with roots and no bulbs. I have planted them in containers and beds with the same results.
@@Pamela-pg8hj what kind are you planting, what zone are you in, and when are you planting?
I wasn't planning to plant garlic, but now I see I have sufficient containers, so will give it a shot. Thanks for this video. You have such a nice way of showing the way.
Thanks Kristen, best of luck! 🙂
I've bern planting my garlic and onions in a container and grocery bags for 4 years now. It works. I also plant all my veggies the same.
@@priciladuldulao5342gotta love container growing!
I like how you explain things and it’s not boring. I’ve been through so many videos trying to help me start my garden but i get bored and turn to another channel. This is the third video of yours I’ve watched to completion. Plus you made me want to grow garlic when i wasn’t planning to. Just gained a follower!
That's so kind of you to say Gena....thanks so much for the support!! :-)
Best garlic growing video I have seen yet. Very thorough! Would love to see you do a video on growing shallots in containers.
This was a great tutorial. I was wanting to try container planting this year. Thank you!
Thanks Linda, that's kind of you to say! :-)
Excellent, no fuss, no rubbish guide to Garlic. Just superb information. Thank you very much.
When I have a plant that doesn't need a deep pot, I fold over the top edge of a fabric part, reducing the height/depth a few inches. If I later decide I need a deeper pot, I just unfold the edge. An extra benefit is it provides a good 'handle' for moving the pot, more durable than many actual handles.
Great idea!
Very cool video. Well laid out and informative. Has a certain 80's-90's PBS charm to it too.
Experimenting with some over winter potatoes soon. After watching this, I'll have to plant a few containers of garlic, seeing as the time is coming up as well! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Absolutely terrific series Jeff !! I can hardly wait to get my cloves in the ground. It's a bit early here in Southern Ontario 'cause we've had some crazy fluctuations in temperatures here. Still, I'm looking forward to implementing your tips for growing a fantabulous crop of garlic. Thanks so much buddy 👍
Thanks so much Mike! Yeah, TO and the GTA has had some bonkers weather! Watch it be a crazy winter too.....stay safe friend! :-)
Thank you sooo much! I live in zone 8a and am a first year gardener. I need all the advice I can get! haha! I plan on planting some garlic today and was searching for some tips. I honestly think this is the only video I will have to watch. If I remember to do it, I'll update with how it all turns aout! I am subscribing to you now. Have a lovely day!
This will be my first time growing garlic in central VT (zone 5). Did not think about containers, but I might try that along with planting some in my raised beds. This was most helpful, thank you!
Best of luck...just be careful in zone 5....gets pretty chilly. Container garlic is going to need extra depth and extra protection. :-)
Hello sir. As a northerner who is in zone 5b, my tip for container garlics in colder climates is to bring them into your garage from late fall until late winter when the temps start creeping up toward spring and they'll grow just fine.
I'm in Chicago area. Been a mild winter. I didn't get my garlic in. I'm gonna fill some containers today
It gets down to -5 here think that will work for me?
Sam from
Idaho
@@samanthamorris2207 Yes, it certainly will.
Have you ever tried to group them together, like he suggest in the vid? I just moved to MA (6b) and don't have a real garden anymore or a garage. Hoping grouping them will do.
@@robertcanavan6600 Hey Robert. If you don't have a garage then my suggestion is to cover them and depending on your situation you either bury them or you can try wrapping the pots in an insulating material then covering them. Fun fact is if it snows you can let the snow cover the tarp as well because snow is surprisingly insulating as a material.
I am excited to plant garlic now! Thanks for the detailed tutorials!
Best of luck! 🙂
Gosh, I’m glad I came across this video. I would to love to have fresh garlic! This is a really well done video and I agree about no music, usually people blast it between talking. Great video! 😊
Thanks Cheri! Let us know if you plant some container garlic and how it goes! :-)
Thank you! You put a lot of work into this video, it's much appreciated.
Cheers, thanks for saying that and for watching!
Glad this can be done in the later months. We use a ton of garlic so growing our own seems like a great idea. We don't usually get too cold in SE Texas so there's never really a risk of freezing them to death. Hopefully gets just cold enough to get them started. Its usually pretty warm here til maybe a week or two in February.
Most definitely! And if it's too warm, look at growing the softneck varieties.... That's what will be the most successful.
Love your garlic video! Thanks so much … you are a great teacher with an “easy” voice☮️
Thanks for this! I've been binge watching a lot of your videos and have planted garlic this year for the first time. Purple Italian and the store bought culinary garlic. So excited to know how to harvest, dry, and store! Love all your definitive guides. You might want to think about writing a book - although, your videography is awesome!
Thanks so much Lila!! Appreciate the support! Let us know which of the two garlics turns out better. :-)
Fantastic video. Easy to understand and follow each step. Thank you
Great video this is my first year planting garlic! I planted in the fall (northeast) and so far this spring all is going well. I cannot wait to harvest my first crop and continue to plant for years to come!! ❤
Right on! Looks like everything is on schedule for you then!
Thank you for this lesson on container garlic growing….I’ve always wanted to do this but was afraid, you made this seem easy peezy.
Really useful and well explained video, thanks for sharing it!
You are such a great teacher ❤️ love your videos
Thanks so much Tamara! Always appreciated!!
Brother, you do a great job teaching! Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work and may the fruit of the Spirit abound to you.
Thanks so much Erik, very appreciated!! :-)
Been a subscriber for about a year now. Love your 'quickies'. Best garden vids I've seen. Keep them coming. Just moved to MA (6b) and trying to set up a new garden. Think I may have to go all container till I can get the feel for sun and shade in my new place.
Thanks so much for the support Robert! Let us know how the new garden unfolds!
Thank you. You explain things so well. I am going to attempt this.
your videos remind me of shows like mister rogers neighborhood or zoboomafoo. calm, easy to understand, makes learning enjoyable. was a nice throwback so thanks!
Don't forget Mr Dress Up!
Awesome thorough video like your others - thank you!
Excellent information.
Thank you!
Great video.
I have a container garden. I've planted garlic in my home with my grandkids. It already has sprouted stems. It looks like they may grow well, but we do have uneven planting.
Thanks for some good tips.😀
Awesome, best of luck with it. Can't wait to hear about your harvest!
Thanks for this comprehensive guide! I'm in zone 5a (chilly winters!), but I plan to try growing my garlic in pots in my enclosed porch. It's not insulated, but it does stay warmer in there during the winter months, since it's on the sunny side of my house. Hopefully that helps mitigate the extra-cold temps. :)
Hey Rebecca, best of luck. As long as it doesn't get too too warm, I think you'll be successful! :-)
Thank you very much - I feel more confident now to start my first crop of garlic. Great video ... lots of easy to understand knowledge. Liked and subscribed.
Cheers Bob, thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the pleasant delivery of information .
Cheers David, thanks for watching! 🙂
Nice video with explanations. This is the 2nd year I'm planting elephant garlic. Wish me luck!
Annie.
Thanks Annie, you got this! :-)
This is fantastic content! It has everything i need to know. Thank you
Cheers Mark, thanks.... Happy to help!
Excellent video Jeff! My garlic in pot did not survived freeze in zone 4b last winter. I will try it again this year with your tricks.
Oh yeah... 4b is a cold one! Let us know if the tips work for your severe winters!
I followed your instructions last year, and had an excellent crop.
Great to hear Rose! Did you grow in containers or in a traditional bed?
Top video thankyou it makes good sense production is now a reality .
Thank you for your time, explaining everything, much appreciated. This is my 1st time growing garlic, and I am going to use containers.
Right on! I think you'll find it a long crop to grow, but very low maintenance and easy going.
Good work! You are an excellent teacher, thanks for your time.
Cheers Franz, thanks for that!
Yeah he really is...
Great Video! So many questions answered. Thanks.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Thank you for the information!
Learned so much great video - thanks
This was excellent!
Parents could be teaching their kids how to do this every fall with little to no maintenance over the winter.
Schools could be doing this as the school year begins. Imagine doing this as the 6th Grade School year begins and carries over when 7th Grade begins by asking and writing about how their Garlic did and having everyone plant new garlic from their crop. If their crop did not make it then the student should have included that in their report and they get another clove from the teacher or friend. If new to the school everyone could give a welcoming garlic clove to start the same way.
Its great to teaxh learn about how to read, how to write, and how to do statistical formulas to figure out the quantum differential of the sub-atomic particle length between billions of random particles in a one dimensional world.
Ok maybe not that last one. It does seem to me that there is a current spark that is lacking in adults and that spark is thinking about things long term. What has happened to the Garlic from Grade to Grade to Grade. And in this lesson all truly are winners because someone who’s garlic failed and it looks like it is due to lack of interest is a success because growing things is not their thing but they tried. And that seed is still planted for use 50 years later when they say…
- Our grocery bill was how much? Let me see. Half the stuff we could have gone without. $10.00 for Garlic?! It’s easy to grow. No more buying of garlic. We’re growing it! It’s easy. They taught us in Grade School. -
And with those words a school bell would ring and a Teacher would get comfortable shoes on their way to teaching heaven.
Totally agree John...plus its skills that once learned, you know it forever. Its hobby that can be done from 5 to 95 years old! Lettuce is now $5 a head here. That is just plain ridiculous.
Very helpful ...many thx
Hello Jeff, thanks for this great video. I tried growing some garlic a few years ago and it was a bust. But, after watching this video I’m going to try growing it again next year here in SWMO US zone 6b.
Hey, right on RLB. Colder zone, so hardneck for sure, and if you're going containers, definitely need to protect them. Cheers! :-)
Highly enjoyed!
Thanks iva! :-)
could not stop wathcing beautiful production
This is the best vid ever.
Thanks so much... Too kind!
This video is so good, I’m back again this year.
Great video.
you are blessed!
Great tips 👌
This was very informative. I’m growing my garlic (first time ever) indoors. I have grow lights, have the large container by an open window. It’s been almost two months. I have a lot of the green stop part but a couple of them have started to turn yellow. I know they’re not ready as full bulbs. Based on your video I’ll need fertilizer.
Awesome video!! Thank you so much!! From Kentucky 🐎🐎🐎
Hey, thanks so much for watching! 🙂
The pink garlic I planted 3 weeks ago in the garden is not growing regularly, so I bought 2 different kinds (purple and a different pink) to plant in 35 liter grow pails (€4.04 each). I'll fill the bottom half with municipal compost that I get for free. It's not fully mature, so it will finish maturing there, and then I'll add mostly garden soil, a bit of mature compost and sand for the top layer for the garlic roots.
I might make a few more pails of white and elephant garlic if I can find some. Pink and purple are local varieties that keep well.
One thing I do differently than you do is I wash the garlic head after harvest, to remove any dirt from it: Most of the pathogens that make garlic rot during storage come from the soil, so I wash it off in the morning of a sunny day so the bulbs dry immediately.
I also like to thread the garlic stems together once they're fully dry. It makes a nice bunch to give away to family and friends. Yah, looks like I won't have enough for me and next year planting now, need to make more pails, come to think of it...
I also have 7 buckets of potatoes ( different kinds) that will be ready to harvest before Christmas. October has been such a warm month here (actually, the warmest since we started monitoring temperatures in France). There's been a few cold nights since, but still above freezing), so I put empty pails in reverse over the potato pails to protect them from cold. I also filled the pails with soil to the rim last week, it should add more protection, if not more soil to grow potatoes.
I like your instructions. A lot of people talk to much and go on and on never getting to the point I just need to know how to do this . I like the straw . I wish I had the space and money to do this . Soon. I have a few plants . Just soaking in the info for future
Right on. As long as you're starting that's the main thing...grow from there. Good on you! 🙂
Great detailed advice! 👍
Thanks so much for watching!
great video learned a lot
Still getting the hang of it.
For hot areas like cement patios, leave some leaf litter and wet that when watering. Straw multch is the way.
Consider adding a handful to the potting soil. Helps with texture and moisture retention.
Also companion plant some chamomile. Scatter some seeds before applying mulch
Awesome tips!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms leaf litter is zero cost, and less work. Just be less tidy around containers.
Thank you sir for your teaching
Cheers Laurie, thanks for watching!

Your Garlic is beautiful. Would mind sharing what variety you are growing?
This comes so timely as I am getting ready to plant garlic in Zone 9B. I've got 2 questions: 1) Can I reuse my soil from last year's garlic? It's your homemade mix with most of your suggested amendments. 2) My garlic will sprout immediately. Do I still only fertilize twice? And if so, is it still 6-8 weeks before harvest? Thank you so much! Going to wash my pots and get ready to plant garlic this week.
Very helpful thank you much!

Hi, I enjoy and learn so much from your videos. All my planting is done in bags and containers. The one thing you didn't talk about is the scapes from a hardneck garlic. When planting garlic in containers do you still get scapes? This will be my first try at planting garlic. i live in NJ zone 7
Thanks for all the great info, Jeff. I'm thinking I will try growing my first garlic in a grow bag. Need to get on it immediately, too! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!

The only garlic that I could find was a soft neck variety. It looked like old stock from last year. My community garden bed is basically like a rather larger container that's about 8 inches deep built on top of legs. I keep forgetting to take my tape measure to get the length and width; but, It's about 8 feet long and maybe 3 1/2 to 4 feet wide. Our winters get cold and our summers can get pretty warm. The city is going to move the community garden to a different location so that the developer can either built a parking lot or another apartment building. This was my first year trying to grow garlic and after watching your video, I can see a few things that I would probably do differently.
We've had crazy warm and wet weather atm. Yesterday, it was 22c during the day and 14c at night in London! I currently have the bulbs sitting in the fridge until it is ready to plant. We planted them at the beginning of Nov last year but it was far too early.
Very warm, wow! Great weather for an extended strawberry season though! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes indeed. We have a handful of green strawberries on one of our June plants! So weird.
What is now normal, these past few years is spring bulbs coming up in October. I never know whether to cut them back. It's just green and then in winter we start getting flowers.
When we planted the garlic, the shoots already came through in Dec. I think that we also planted them too deep.
Brimwood farm in Suffolk, UK (SE England), said that they planted them in Jan. The existing zone/frost website isn't great and not sure how up to date it is but it says our first frost date is 1st Jan for our area.
Heavy rain destroyed our tomatoes through blight. I was hoping to take a sucker to over winter.
We just got back from the Isle of Wight clearing out our late mother in law place during the holiday week.
We also had to have our rear gutters replaced. Typical roofers starting with a quote of £450 and ended up with a £1100 bill! Also, the same thing. They take off the gutters before telling you this! They also didn't have the big van in the pictures and just a Postman Pat van turned up without the gutters to start with! Hubby was mugged off. This was his task and if I was available I would have picked up on this. The fact that they asked for a screwdriver, would have been a nope from me!
Anyway, we now have some nasty half white pvc facsia.
No mention of bird flu running rife here and I didn't like the way that the main guy was talking to his employee. One point he called him Rodney (only fools and horses ref). Treading on our hose that we removed out of the way only to be reconnected in a hose pipe ban. Was also a wood prop. Our garden table was a work bench.
I couldn't record for yt as it was so triggering. I told hubby to sort out and he said that I was already out there. If it was down me I would have turned them away before the project even started....
We refurbished our house top to bottom. I thought that my hubby would have picked up a thing or two during this process.
I was 32 weeks pregnant when we moved in. We started with the kitchen and had the electrics and plumbing sorted first. So glad we only had 2 days there with a gas leak!
Anyway, just when you can concentrate on the garden and plan, after heatwaves and drought.
Still holding up hubby to the new bedding frame.
Waiting until we can finalise the house with a new driveway and turn the main bed into a fully raised bedding area with the "crazy paving".
Keep it up!
Thanks! 🙂
Love the video. Like always you walk us step by step on how to produce the best harvest. I’m in Zone 9a, can I plant my garlic in the fall as well or do I need to wait to get closer to spring?
Thanks so much Heriberto! You can plant your garlic right now if its mild enough! :-)
Thank you so much for your video it inspired me to do gardening. Do you have tips or guides for planting spinach!!!
So great to hear Doyle! Spinach is quite easy....quick crop too. Shallow-rooted, quick to germinate, and quick to mature. Don't keep it too wet, but also doesn't fair well in the heat.
I had an issue last year with such a mild winter they sprouted so early. They bulbed up fine though. And we had very little frost as well in the UK
Yeah, that's not uncommon...especially in those mild fall/winters. Usually it won't affect the crop, lucky for us!
Thats a great tutorial

Hey thanks, appreciate it!
"The Song Remains The Same"! 😂👍👍💟🎸
:-) LOL
Great video, I appreciate your calm and informative approach😊 Just curious, if the bulb roots only go down about 6 inches, can I only fill my fabric pots 8 inches ?
Hey thanks Kathleen! Yes, 8 inches is plenty of soil for the garlic. Leaves more room for mulch up top anyways! :-)
❤Thank you very much 😊
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Very nice👍👍
Thanks so much! Nice to see you in the chat this morning!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 😍😍👍👍
Hello The Ripe Tomato Farms, long time no talk! This the best detailed video from A-Z garlic planting. I planted mine few day ago in Maryland. Question Where to buy the Fabric Grown Bags, dried hay, water can AÂmzon no good, last keep garlic hang dried until next planting?? Have a nice day!
Thanks bannguyen!! Fabric grow bags are cheapest on Amazon I've found...even cheaper than local stores. For hay, I only use clean straw and I get mine from a local feed barn. Garlic is hung dry for a month, sometimes longer, so usually its taken down and cleaned a couple of months before the next planting starts. 🙂
Yay.....another good garlic video. Can you tell me what fertilizer you use for the garlic?
Hey Janet, I feed Garlic only twice in its 8-10 month lifespan, with one fertilizer, skewed slightly higher in Nitrogen: th-cam.com/video/KpMAHx1Ag-4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jeff sorry missed the live show, I was doing some prep for my daughters potluck for tomorrow, of course she’s sick again and the kids, so I’m all alone doing all the stuff. I love this video I can maybe go thru the garlic but hopefully they will come out till harvest time, it’s fall here now zone 9, this is my third time to plant garlic again!😢 they say try and try until you succeed right, I don’t have ground so it has to be in containers again.
