I'm surprised by some of the comments made, "I'm not that anal to do that", It's a waste of time doing it that way", "this is just a video to put on TH-cam", etc etc. It goes to show how ignorant some people are. What I see is a way to start garlic so as to plant out Garlic Starts. I tried to grow garlic (30 cloves) and all but two failed, good quality soil, and plenty of compost. This may be a way for me to be successful, so I will try it. This video may not be of much use to the "smart" growers, but it is surely useful to people like me who have a problem growing garlic. I dug up some of my failures and found very little root system, they didn't develop, better luck this time, (second attempt) so, thank you for showing me another way to start growing garlic.
I would like to know what you sprayed on them and did you have drain holes in the potted containers? I would like to see the finished and producing plant
Just plant them in good soil with compost and give them lots of water 💦 on top right away. Then get a tray, put your pots on it and water from the bottom. Garlic needs alot of water. Doing this will make the roots reach downward to get closer to the water at the bottom. Also make sure you have proper drainage. Good luck 🤞 hope this helps
I was so excited to try this. I drank some soda so I could have the bottles. I rinsed them, and set them out to dry. A couple days later I trimmed my garlic pods, cut the tops and got my bottles ready. I carefully cut the bottles and then it dawned on me... I forgot to save the bottle caps!!! Oh mon dieu!! So don't forget to save the caps!
Having grown thousands of heads of garlic personally, this was not done in the best possible way, this is a great way to get it started maybe but after the first couple of days if you are going to continue growing it like this you need to separate the cloves of garlic or you risk the roots tangling and hoping that the garlic will survive when you separate them. If you are going to eat just the greens growing off it go for it. As for harvesting, the garlic is usually planted in October and then harvested in august to September (NY area) but one thing to watch out for is at some point the garlic is going to flower, you dont want it to flower unless you wanna attempt to grow garlic from seed, you will see what looks like a giant curl this is called a garlic scape, you will want to follow that scape down to the the first set of leaves, this will allow the plant to focus all its nutrients into the new garlic head growing below. You can eat and process the scapes, but you first want to remove the flower head portion from there you can process it with oil and seasoning to make a pesto or fry it up or whatever. So this is idea is actually a good one but it takes time, I would recommend staggering growth depending on how much garlic you consumer 1 batch every month? Anything extra can be pickled (good by itself or cooked). The reason you cant grow the garlic together on the head attached is because it stunts the growth of the cloves. If you have large cloves and want to retain that you need to remove them from the head. Please keep in mind too the garlic can and will grow upwards of 3-4.5 ft tall.
There are people who can just stick garlic cloves in the ground & 9 mo later, they have big heads of garlic. Fantastic for them! They are fortunate things work that way for them. It doesn't for all of us. So many times, I've stuck garlic cloves down into dirt & got nothing. So, I am going to try the method shown here & see if it helps. I really really want to grow garlic!
Guess the main purpose is to weed out ones that will rot and ensure they are already emerged out of the soil but if you have a big enough scale, this would just be a lot of extra work since with good cloves over 95% will generally sprout when planted direct in the ground
Very good Terrence. I was a bit sceptical at first, after trying your method it works perfectly.. I’ve been planting bulbs in soil direct and waiting for them to shoot, where is within three days. I’ve got excellent result appreciate thanks for your video. Really helpful. Keep up the good work kind regards. 👍
На скорости 1.5 ролик смотрится гораздо веселее. Автору уважение за труд и аккуратность. Я просто разделяю чеснок на зубчики и в зиму сажаю на грядку, вокруг кустов и деревьев, между кустиками клубники. Но это когда есть огород.
Thank you I so enjoyed this, I’m off to the store to buy some garlic, I can’t wait to see the results. Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨
As many have said, plant in the fall and harvest next Aug/Sept. Yeah, that worked great for us until I didn't have time to do the fall harvest one year. Lots of garlic next year but without being separated they are all tiny. Tried to recover by planting the tiny cloves but mostly more tiny cloves. We have a few garlic plants that have held on over the intervening several years that keep coming back. I'm harvesting some now and this technique might just be the ticket to get back to full sized bulbs to plant in the fall. Also, planning to experiment with an LED grow light this winter and this might be a way to grow/start plants for harvesting greens over the winter. The idea of aquarium gravel instead of bottles sounds good. Or maybe use a rectangular plastic bottle so the level is constant and you don't have to create supports to keep the bottles from rolling around. I'd add that this technique could be used by someone in an apartment that doesn't have the luxury of planting outdoors.
Nice , so you're basically "cloning " garlic cloves . I'm gonna give it a try , thanks for sharing . I like your gardens too, nice and clean , organized , and well managed 😁👍
I noticed after 2 months of buying garlic, there was green growing off the top. So I took the cloves with green and put them in a small cup and watered them every 2 days and they grew perfectly.
I was watching a garlic grower on TV, last year?, who said to keep garlic on a window sill as they will last a lot longer. Failing that, get an earthenware pot. Garlic shouldn't be kept in the fridge. Another thing I learned recently, when cutting onions/garlic, once cut, leave for 15 mins before eating/cooking, to allow the beneficial active ingredient (sorry, forgotten the name 😞) to activate.
@@kateboulton8789yup. Cooling can actually stimulate sprouting. The gasses and hormones released by other ripe veg or fruit in the fridge can also trigger it. So well ventilated and dark is the way to go. In so far as the allicin compound goes, the greatest and only proven benefit is the taste. All other possible benefits fall under the "may" be beneficial and "may" have an effect. Studies conflict and no consensus has yet been reached. The effect in a petri dish does not necessarily reflect what happens in the body. You can kill cancer with bleach in that dish for example, but drinking bleach will not kill cancer in you, and also definitely will kill you. Turmeric in a dish kills cancer, but turmeric you eat has what is termed "poor bioavailability". The polite way of saying it mostly goes right through you and into your toilet. Hopefully there is some truth to it's anti inflammatory, anti cholesterol (although the cholesterol being harmful is yet another thing still up for debate) anti cancer qualities are found to be true and the exact mechanism is understood. If garlic has anti cancer properties, I should have been one of the last people to get it. Not the case. Love that stuff! Consider China is the biggest consumer of garlic. It also has a cancer rate 1.5 times higher than the US. Of course correlation does not equal causation, but it does make you think.
Yup. Cool temperatures actually trigger garlic to sprout! Better to store it in a dark, dry place at room temperature. Mine hangs or is put in a wire basket in my large windowless pantry. Lasts a long time and rarely starts to sprout. Give it a try.
This is a useful and creative video. I'm going to try starting them this way. For the readers, to get the best flavor let garlic winter over and harvest in Spring.
I'd use the tops rather than the bulb much later, it's refreshing and not as pungent as the cloves, but a great idea to replicate, thank yiufor sharing!
This was a great video . I do this as well but only in saucers or bowls of shallow water. When I transplant it out I remove a centimeter of leaf from each plant. It stimulates growth
You can eat the leaves of garlic. They taste like garlic believe it or not. And they add green to your dish. So you can occasionally pick a leaf off a couple plants and eat them while the plants grow.
Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. I do hydroponics as I am in Zone 3b and any start to the season is a tremendous help. It always amazes me how different techniques are adopted in different parts of the world. I am going to try this in one mason jar. I've successfully been growing via Kratky method in addition to DWC.
That's the whole garlic growing cycle for this method. It won't produce a new bulb that year, just the greens which are tasty to eat. If you let it over-winter, it will produce a bulb next year.
Hi really appreciate your video and can't wait to give it ago,was slightly disappointed at the end that you didn't show the final results however more than appreciative of your time and effort..look forward to more videos lewy UK
I'm really having a hard time believing that in five days you have that much growth on your garlic bulbs... Maybe five weeks but five days is hard for me to believe...
No the green shoot growth is almost instantaneous! After 5 days I planted my separate bulbs into grow-pots. Want harvest of continuous green garlic shoots. The flavour is amazing! I rooted mine balanced on Sherry glasses, filled with water & a little Seasol. Overnight the first tiny shoots appeared! 😊
I think his days add up. So day 1, then 2 days later (actually day 3), 4 days later (actual day 7), 5 days later (actually day 12), etc. It was just poorly phrased.
First thing that came to my mind was what about all the chemicals, BPA? that can leech from the plastic, into the water and right through those roots. 😞 I propagated some garlic indoors, however used glass. I do appreciate the video, nicely done.
probably no BPA but BPF and other bisphenols used instead of A, all petro-plastics are toxic sooner or latter, better to use organic-all natural-biodegradable materials, but if you buy greens in clamp shells sold in stores as " organics" they are grown in plastics pipes under a roof in warehouse ( hydroponic) and not in real soil outside in the fields most of the times.
I had a family here that were my friends. They moved out of town when they became pregnant and grew all their own food...all garden, eggs, meat milk. You name it they did it. Organic everything. After about six years their doctor asked if he could test them to see the difference. None. They had just as many chemicals as every single person buying their food from the store. That stuck with me. The parents were absolutely crushed. All their hard work made zero difference. The people growing their garlic like this are probable not any worse off than others using other methodology. After all the water used for watering travels though pipes and hoses to arrive at the plant.
If the point was not to keep the hydroponic approach all the way to the end, they could have just planted the garlic directly in the soil from the beginning. The cloves would have used the nutrients from the soil to grow better and get that nourishment.
I think the video's method seems ideal, if the roots can deal with the soil well. Having those greens would allow for strong photosynthesis. You can also harvest a section of the greens as an early crop.
you can chop up the green stalk into the dishes you're cooking - tastes just like the garlic bulb. Usually I just take a half inch to inch off a few stalks. They grow back.
I subscribed to your Terrace Garden. The Garlic video was perfect, but I missed the comments. Whatever is shown in this video, comments are also an important part which viewers can learn. Thanks
00:52 If you want to keep your fingers when using a craft knife "cut away from yourself and towards your mate". I actually flinched when you finally cut through the plastic bottle............
plant in October. harvest the next year when the top leaves brown and fall sideways before flowering. This does NOTHING to speed that up but you can just cut the greens and eat those.
I've got my garlic and my plastic bottle ready. Thank you for sharing how to grow food when you don't have a big garden area. I would really like to know, if you're willing to share, what is growing in the post in the background of this video, and how is the post made? Growing more food in less space is more and more important as our populations grow and our cities take up more area.
Thank you for posting. We don’t need music. You should speak and explain what you’re doing, why, when and what to expect from the final harvest. Example, why are you adding rice to the soil?
Often times the person making the video doesn’t speak English. It’s pretty common. If I were among a video for, say, Korean distribution, I’d likely add music and text and not even try to talk, too.
This might work with softneck garlics, but hardneck garlics need to vernilize (go through a cooling period) to germinate. That's why they are planted in the fall and sprout in the spring. They need the winter cold to trigger the growth process. If you have hardneck garlic, put them in your refrigerator or outdoors if its cold for a couple of months. Let them warm up for a couple of days, then do this. From my personal experience though, you don't even need the bottles. Once garlic starts growing, it's pretty hardy. Direct to soil would probably work fine.
@@nishuright5532 that doesn't apply to garlic which needs to be planted in the fall and left in ground for 8 months!! This stuff he's doing is pointless
@@newaccount2970 I ended up googling it. I should have googled where to find rice husks. This is what Google said... "Rice hulls are a popular substrate for gardening since they absorb liquid and are an environmentally sustainable drainage option. In fact, they are one of the most sustainable soil amendments available for greenhouse growers because they help improve drainage, water holding capacity, and aeration."
They don't always tell you the whole story.....and this music is too much.....I didn't even watch video can't stand when they put this loud music on.....Id rather hear people talk & tell what they are doing....
When you root cuttings or sprout avocado seeds in water you're supposed to change the water daily. I wouldn't leave it more than 2 days. And I would use rain water or clean drinking water without chemicals.
According to the information that displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen - it was rice husks. I Googled it to find out why. It's a biodegradable material good for organic farming. It provides a few nutrients, but its main purpose is to keep the soil aerated. Chiming in from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦, where our high today is 12°C as I type this @ 5:15 pm MST. And there's the possibility of SNOW in the forecast. Happy May 21st/22. Of COURSE it's the Victoria Day long weekend. Gasoline prices went up $0.10/L which is more than it usually goes up before a long weekend - but with the way it's going - they might not come back down. Scary! Continue to stay safe everybody!
@@lesleyanneellis5818 TBH - I have no idea. The rice husks are extremely small - look at a grain of rice (or barley, wheat, etc) & imagine the tiny covering around it. I know wood chips are often added as a top dressing on flower beds and around trees to help maintain moisture and add a decorative effect, but I think you'd have to shred your chips or find a way to make them of a finer texture. Something else to consider is the type of wood chips. Different trees have properties that can have a negative effect on your baby plants, by changing the pH level of the soil. Some turn the soil extremely acidic and may kill the plant roots. A natural alternative if you can access it, is peat moss. You just add about 2c into a gallon of potting soil & mix well before planting the seedlings. The peat moss does the same thing as the rice husks - but I'm not sure if it has any nutritional value. Sorry! Another alternative is vermiculite. It does the same thing - keeps the soil from getting too compacted. And - if all else fails, you can purchase bags of pre-mixed soil specifically for seedlings although this might be dependent on where you live. I know for certain it's readily available in Canada and the US. Hope this helps a bit!

Use the right cloves to plant. Some cloves will not grow because the garlic had been treated with chemicals not to start growing.
This is effective for indoor gardening specially on rooftops. Very informative and beneficial to city dwellers. Kudos to the sharer.

Very small heads if any is what I say . There's going to be a lot of starvation going on if the food industry goes .
I am in the UK, I left some to grow outside since October and it's still growing. I will dig them out soon :)
Hi dear, first time I am watching this chanal. very interesting this video. Defeneatly I will also try this. thanks for upload this video 👍
Where are the mature garlic harvest? Thank you for excellent technique in forcing the garlic bulbs. Will subscribe🤗
First thing that came to my mind was what about all the chemicals, BPA? that can leech from the plastic, into the water and right through those roots. 😞 I propagated some garlic indoors, however used glass. I do appreciate the video, nicely done.
probably no BPA but BPF and other bisphenols used instead of A, all petro-plastics are toxic sooner or latter, better to use organic-all natural-biodegradable materials, but if you buy greens in clamp shells sold in stores as " organics" they are grown in plastics pipes under a roof in warehouse ( hydroponic) and not in real soil outside in the fields most of the times.
OS ECOCHATOS SEMPRE APARECEM. ADOREI A IDEIA.
I had a family here that were my friends. They moved out of town when they became pregnant and grew all their own food...all garden, eggs, meat milk. You name it they did it. Organic everything. After about six years their doctor asked if he could test them to see the difference. None. They had just as many chemicals as every single person buying their food from the store. That stuck with me. The parents were absolutely crushed. All their hard work made zero difference. The people growing their garlic like this are probable not any worse off than others using other methodology. After all the water used for watering travels though pipes and hoses to arrive at the plant.
Due to whats being bunged down from the sky including barium & mercury, everyone and everything is inebriated to unnatural degrees in toxicity
If the point was not to keep the hydroponic approach all the way to the end, they could have just planted the garlic directly in the soil from the beginning. The cloves would have used the nutrients from the soil to grow better and get that nourishment.
Yeah, I did that once and I got fantastic garlic plants, they'll grow just by planting.
Agree. I watched a number of vids titled growing garlic in water but then has to go into soil and wait.
I think the video's method seems ideal, if the roots can deal with the soil well. Having those greens would allow for strong photosynthesis. You can also harvest a section of the greens as an early crop.
Yo pongo la cabeza de ajo sobre copas con agua y da el mismo resultado.... gracias
wow nice video this is my first visit in this channel very informative.thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you. Looks like you have a very nice garden
What do you add on top of your little gardens? Do you eat the greens? Do bulbs grow?
you can chop up the green stalk into the dishes you're cooking - tastes just like the garlic bulb. Usually I just take a half inch to inch off a few stalks. They grow back.
Nice video. Would love to see the end result though. Most videos I watch people usually leave that part out.
Yes, it would be really good if they could show us another video of the end result.
ok
The most annoying thing! Why do they do it??
th-cam.com/users/shortsykJn9PUkTZw?feature=share
I agree, there is no info after this, how long does it take, when do they harvest and the actual development of the garlic 🧄 to use ????
So many people got a way of planting garlic. I like this way because you can see it grow for a couple days in the beginning.
I subscribed to your Terrace Garden. The Garlic video was perfect, but I missed the comments. Whatever is shown in this video, comments are also an important part which viewers can learn. Thanks
Would love to see the harvest.
I put them above my fish tank and they grown like crazy. The snails like it.
00:52 If you want to keep your fingers when using a craft knife "cut away from yourself and towards your mate". I actually flinched when you finally cut through the plastic bottle............
They use the same plastic bottle method to regrow fingers.
Very nice video.১৫ মিনিট বাংলা শেখার আসর। সিঙ্গাপুর থেকে দেখছি।
Beautiful 🥰 garlic trees thanks 👍 lot...
After how many days are the garlic harvested, how much time is given for the harvest?
plant in October. harvest the next year when the top leaves brown and fall sideways before flowering. This does NOTHING to speed that up but you can just cut the greens and eat those.
А каков же окончательный результат? Хотелось бы увидеть продолжение.
Зачем голову морочить? В эти пластиковые вёдра сразу посадить зубки чеснока и не морочиться с бутылками.
Quiero saber si el ajo da bien en lugar q. No es frio. Esta muy bonito su cultivo la felicito
❤❤❤❤❤wow good idea congrats sir Terrace Garden
Wow amazing container method for those who need a space for this & cannot plant in soil. Great for decks!
bad thing is that growing or eating in petro-plastics is no good for health.
Where is second part of the video ? About harvest
This is an awesome idea, thank you for sharing 🥰. What are you spreading on and mixing in the soil please?
Rice husks
I've got my garlic and my plastic bottle ready. Thank you for sharing how to grow food when you don't have a big garden area. I would really like to know, if you're willing to share, what is growing in the post in the background of this video, and how is the post made? Growing more food in less space is more and more important as our populations grow and our cities take up more area.
Nice video! What does rice husk do? Also was that water in the sprayer? Thank you for your time in making this!
I'd love to have seen these harvested.
I tried it and it's so amazing to see how much it's growing so quickly and I dig it 😘😌🤗
I hope you had a beautiful day.??!!!!!!!
Thank you. I enjoyed your video. Now I know how to grow garlic! 🤗🌱🌶🥄
Thank you for posting. We don’t need music. You should speak and explain what you’re doing, why, when and what to expect from the final harvest. Example, why are you adding rice to the soil?
Rice... mhh i think its is wood shreds...mhhh for better airfiltration.. mhhh
Often times the person making the video doesn’t speak English. It’s pretty common. If I were among a video for, say, Korean distribution, I’d likely add music and text and not even try to talk, too.
Very nice, thank you! How long to harvest? Would have been nice to see.
Maybe just try it yourself and find out.
That's a good question
A Google search says 8-9 months for most varieties.
It won't be harvested Ana, because this is not actually how you grow Garlic. Garlic is an 8-10 month crop that overwinters in the ground.
@@MelanieCravens that's in cold climates. in the tropics (like Vietnam where this person is) it's about 4 to 5 months.
I love the taste of garlic. Thank you for sharing this video. I will follow your tips.
No wonder mine rarely works. I just stuck bulbs in the ground and occasionally got lucky.
Thank you. Your way is pretty much guaranteed
Break the bulbs apart and stick the individual cloves in the ground about 3 inches deep 6 inches apart...you can't go wrong.
Can you show us how they look now? Thanks!
good ideas grow very well, did you change the water every day for grow well?
That what I was thinking....It looked so clean everyday. ...mine never looked like that ....of course I live in Florida ....
Super nápad!!!! Páči sa mi to ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This might work with softneck garlics, but hardneck garlics need to vernilize (go through a cooling period) to germinate. That's why they are planted in the fall and sprout in the spring. They need the winter cold to trigger the growth process. If you have hardneck garlic, put them in your refrigerator or outdoors if its cold for a couple of months. Let them warm up for a couple of days, then do this. From my personal experience though, you don't even need the bottles. Once garlic starts growing, it's pretty hardy. Direct to soil would probably work fine.
Nice plants bahut accha hai fw thanks for sharing
Why don't you just break up the garlic and plant the individual cloves? Why take the extra step? What's the advantages?
They wanted to show full germination in water to us 😀
to make sure you choose the strongest plants
@@nishuright5532 that doesn't apply to garlic which needs to be planted in the fall and left in ground for 8 months!! This stuff he's doing is pointless
@@destinycoach5 I buy my garlic. It's easier that way.
@@joshmartin1938 hahhahahaaha. Funny
May I ask why the rice husks? And are they necessary? Ty
Yup, i was looking for that also.
@@newaccount2970 I ended up googling it. I should have googled where to find rice husks. This is what Google said...
"Rice hulls are a popular substrate for gardening since they absorb liquid and are an environmentally sustainable drainage option. In fact, they are one of the most sustainable soil amendments available for greenhouse growers because they help improve drainage, water holding capacity, and aeration."
@@pennythatcher1306 Kewl. thanx for the followthrough
Would’ve been great to see the final crop
Hello can the garlic be started now to have crop in late summer , love the idea really good, thanks kind regards Neil
Your hard work is paying off beautifully
One point they never talk about is how many times you have to change the water
They don't always tell you the whole story.....and this music is too much.....I didn't even watch video can't stand when they put this loud music on.....Id rather hear people talk & tell what they are doing....
@@TheKentuckylady717 I think they're avoiding a language barrier based on some errors in captions
@@TheKentuckylady717 you're right about the music! I just turned it down completely, and watched it.
When you root cuttings or sprout avocado seeds in water you're supposed to change the water daily. I wouldn't leave it more than 2 days. And I would use rain water or clean drinking water without chemicals.
@@comfortablynumb9342 you don't need to change the water..what for?
What is the stuff you sprinkled on the soil? How long it takes for the garlic onion to form?
According to the information that displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen - it was rice husks.
I Googled it to find out why. It's a biodegradable material good for organic farming. It provides a few nutrients, but its main purpose is to keep the soil aerated.
Chiming in from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦, where our high today is 12°C as I type this @ 5:15 pm MST. And there's the possibility of SNOW in the forecast.
Happy May 21st/22. Of COURSE it's the Victoria Day long weekend. Gasoline prices went up $0.10/L which is more than it usually goes up before a long weekend - but with the way it's going - they might not come back down. Scary!
Continue to stay safe everybody!
Would wood chips do?
@@lesleyanneellis5818 TBH - I have no idea. The rice husks are extremely small - look at a grain of rice (or barley, wheat, etc) & imagine the tiny covering around it. I know wood chips are often added as a top dressing on flower beds and around trees to help maintain moisture and add a decorative effect, but I think you'd have to shred your chips or find a way to make them of a finer texture.
Something else to consider is the type of wood chips. Different trees have properties that can have a negative effect on your baby plants, by changing the pH level of the soil. Some turn the soil extremely acidic and may kill the plant roots.
A natural alternative if you can access it, is peat moss. You just add about 2c into a gallon of potting soil & mix well before planting the seedlings. The peat moss does the same thing as the rice husks - but I'm not sure if it has any nutritional value. Sorry!
Another alternative is vermiculite. It does the same thing - keeps the soil from getting too compacted. And - if all else fails, you can purchase bags of pre-mixed soil specifically for seedlings although this might be dependent on where you live. I know for certain it's readily available in Canada and the US.
Hope this helps a bit!
@@lesleyanneellis5818 I think sawdust would do the same but IDK about wood chip I think they're too thick for the planting soil
Thank you for the great idea.

Oh my god 😮I now see what I did the garlic soked it an not a single shoot or root 🤦👋🙋 TXS for ur advice 👏🫶🌺
Am learning from uganda Kampala thank u alot ❤
Наистина много практичен и лесен начин
Wonder what each plant produces!!!
One bulb .
Probably garlic. Just spitballing here.
@@Frostrazor Have a good day today. Keep smiling.
wow this is so neat, want to try that some day. Love it 😊
Vous êtes le champion je suis depuis Dakar Sénégal merci
