Simplify Vegetable Gardening will be available on 16th Feb 2024. Pre-order now to be the first to get a copy of this book that has all my personal tips. geni.us/Simpli... A garlic braid or plait is a perfect way to store your garlic. However, there are more benefits to braiding or plaiting garlic than just its appearance. There's also the convenience of being able to grab a clove or two whenever you need it and the garlic stays fresher longer because of improved air circulation. Braiding or plaiting garlic can seem a little intimidating at first, but once you get the basics down, you can make these fun plaits in no time.
Join Tony from UK Here We Grow, UKHWG, as he shows you how to plait garlic bulbs easy and step by step in this simple method. Tidy up your crop and hang them tidy in the shed.
You can also store Onions in the same fashion and we will do an episode of this with onions later as we dry them off.

Lovely to see your daughter helping, and learning. What an amazing relationship you have. Top gardener and top dad 🖒
I hit "like" just for the baby alone LOL. She's adorable.
Brilliant this is why I’m starting the garden this year with my boy who’s 6 and his Bambi’s our teacher and this Chanel brilliant thank you 🙏
Well done Caitlyn and your helper Tony 😁👍🏻.
Caitlyn always upstages her dad :)
@@simplifygardening 🤣🤣🤣💚
What a wonderful blessing she is!!!
Thanks Jo :)
She’s absolutely lovely 🦋
Thanks, shes 11 now and doubled in size lol
Thanks for that. Very helpful. The old man was ok too.😁👏👏👏👏
LOL! Wicked tip and your daughter is lovely, very charming! Great job by both! I love that you have her involved in the sharing of knowledge. I wish we did that here in NL, Canada!
I think its the best way to get the eating and learning where our food comes from. Also it saves you all just from boring old me :)
First time I’ve watched one of your videos, excellent description and your daughter is just a delight, really made the video perfect !!
She is such a doll.
Yeah this was a few years ago now, You should see her she gotten huge. 5'.2 already
I was lost at first, but Caitlin put it into plain English for me :)
Caitlin, you are a right little poser, and a BIG STAR :) XX
Yes she is Jim, She loves being in these videos lol
I should have watched this video before I braided my garlic haha. Also she is wonderful ❤️
Kid's don't you just love em :). Great video Tony. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Rod, yeah they are the best :) Thanks for viewing and commenting, it means the world
That's by far the easiest method I've seen Tony - straightforward plaiting - think I might just be able to manage that one! And Caitlyn - can you teach your daddy how to count properly please?!
lol ops, well thats why i have a side kick lol, she is brilliant :)
You should look at castle hill garden he shows 2 ways to do this and how to do this with onions that are easier you don't have as much tails to work with
Great video and she is adorable 😊
I think so too! :)
garlic? awesome i needed to watch this
Hope you enjoy
I've not done this before, so I'm gonna have a go! Hopefully easy peasy! Nice to have your daughter helping and commenting too, family event!
Good luck! Sorry for the late reply, I have not been well.
Thanks for the video, I'm going to try this. By the way your little helper did a great job!
Thanks Teresa she works hard helping
Can never manage to plait it to look so tidy 😳 she is epic 👍
Lorraine, the secret is to keep it on the bench and pull each clove very tight before twisting, and ensure you use all the same size of bulbs or work from big to small. give it another shot
Cant wait to try this
Excellent, thank you!
All you need now is to get on your bike! I used to plait my onions when I lived in Wiltshire. One day one of the village busy bodies caught my in the act, she just stood gobsmacked at the sight. She just knew then that I was of the peasant class and never came round again. I found it was a good method of storage. I have given up on onions since living in West Wales and understand why leeks are the national veg. I am glad your little girl likes doing things with her dad, I love it when the grandchildren actually say this is much more fun than the iPad.
Wendy Rowland yeah i think its important to get them off the pc's and outside. they got all winter to be indoors
I also do this with onions, its such a great way to store them
Beautiful! Thanks.
Thank you too!
I remember this video. Sweet young lady. Thanks for the review. Best wishes Bob.
Good video, man.
Not sure why but when I was watching the video it had subtitles on which were very accurate to what was being said. Google obviously recognises Welsh easier than it recognises Geordie accents as subtitles on some of my videos are comedy gold.
Pondguru Richard you proc had the cc tab on the bottom of the video activated. click the cc button see if they go
Pondguru oh and i edited what google puts in there. not all videos but some of them
Yes the captions went when I clicked the icon - I would be on all day fixing some of the subtitles on my videos so I don't bother with that.
it took me a while Richard but there are two big reasons I do it. I would like to do it on all but just don't have the time. the first is I have some deaf and hard of hearing viewers who have asked me to do it. second is it massively helps with ranking videos as it takes all written content. take this video, it's currently number 5 in the search for how to plait garlic. so the video has more of a chance of being viewed when you don't have the subs you have :)
Not sure how useful the input of the edited subtitles would be for me as it is the niche educational videos which seem to do really well and as far as subs to views goes have you seen my last few efforts? - the views are in the crapper.
Just as well it's a hobby or I'd be hanging in a tree now with some of my video stats, lol
Haha I enjoyed this one. I think I will have to watch it again to catch what you said ;-)
lol yeah she steals the lime light. there is always closed captions to utilise
Looks a lot easier than plaiting them around a string noose. Cliff did slightly different method a few days ago so I reckon you have covered most options. Had to smile at the out take 😄😄😄😄 You forgot to add a link to her channel in the descriptions 👍🏻👍🏻
All the best. Nigel
I will get that added in lol she got to learn to actually film something worth watching first but i will still put the link in later. Yeah I saw Cliffs that evening after making mine live. He has a fantastic channel
Awesome video my friend great big thumbs-up have a great weekend👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, I am very glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a fantastic weekend too :)
awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
My garlic never grows to that size, terrible soil here, got to keep following you to improve 😎
Hi Ann. Stay tuned I am in the middle of filming an episode be up in the next couple of months, This will show you how to improve soil condition. Remember feed your soil not the plants :) How is your garden looking?
She is lovely and that blue color suits you. Very handsome
Brilliant - love the "human" touch from your daughter "you said 12" LOL :)
Oh, forgot to say - thanks for the plaits tutorial too!!!
Cheers Steve, She is certainly keeping me on my toes and showing me up lol
Got 3 of my 4 grandkids staying tomorrow and we are going to visit my allotment - heaven knows what they will make of it !!
Get them up there Steve, give them little tasks to do, a good one with kids is get them to write their name with the raddish seed they will see it germinate in a few days and spell their name. it will hook them
Worth a go mate. I know my grandson will be looking for insects etc and one of the girls will want to do the watering :)
do you have a pond? kids love them and you go can go net dipping with them and try and identify the bugs you catch
Your beautiful daughter is very bright she corrected you because you said you needed a minimum of 12 she was right you did say 12 then you changed it to 10... So adorable...
Yes she is always telling me I am wrong:) She is always right too lol
your daughter is great!
Thanks Clive. hard to believe she is now 5'3" and turns 11 tomorrow
When ready to use, do you take ones from the top?
I have watched several videos on braiding. I like your the best because your looked the best when finished! I will use only 10 garlic like you suggested..others used more and they looked too sloppy.
Keeping the braid tight at each point is the key, if you leave one go loose then they will all loosen up
I was told to add a comment down below....
Can’t even do a ponytail let alone a plait. Need to practice I think
lol Ray. Keep at it pal, you will get it. Its like riding a bike when you do though
if you want to end up plaiting garlic, i suggest you start plaiting with something simpler, ribbons, thick string, long cable ties, or thin cable, maybe you have a daughter or grand daughter that could show you.
Will give it a try next year, pulled my garlic already and ended up trimming the stems down to leave about 2 inches.
I have got a rack I sit them on though so air can flow all around them.
Yeah give it a go next year, but try it with your onions too if u have not raised them yet
Where you based to Tony? Allotment is coming on well buddy.
Hi Chris I live in Nelson South Wales
How long is the garlic out of the ground before you can plait them.?
A couple of weeks as a rule but it will depend on the weather humidity and so on it has to be completely dry before planting or it will rot
another great vid matey, a few over head shots would of been good.... maybe for the onion plats?
Yeah but need to get a go pro or something for that as I can mix the phone and cameras settings it looks to dodgy
i can safely say that the go pro are rubbish ..... my iphone does a better job but your right about the lag issues with sound... ball ache
need another camera thats for sure whether a better main and use the g7x as a b roll im not sure
HaHa,kids eh? great video,you want to watch out,she will be taking over soon,your'e like two peas in a pod!!
Yeah, she loves being in the video's and chatting away. Give her a few years and she be all over it lol
Did you say to keep it in the dark?
No it can be kept in the light . Sorry for the late reply
So she the boss lol
Always has been. hard to think shes 5'4 now
My problem was initially it was too stiff and green, now it looks like yours but cracks and breaks. Anyone have a solution?
you maybe trying to braid hard neck garlic. you cannot braid this you can only braid soft neck garlic
Did you see the castle hill gardens video? He uses raffia.
Funny enough I just finished watching it. raffier is tended for use with hardneck varieties you dont need it with softneck
Right. So I messed it up. And messed it up. And messed it up again.
More garlic next year ;)
Do you know where you're going wrong?
Failed at pulling it tight so some of the bulbs fell out. Some broke off as I twisted them while braiding. I'm not good at braiding my hair either ;) Next year I ask my garden helper (husband) to hold them tight while I move the stems.
Keep trying once you get the knack it becomes like riding a bike and you're good
I will. Never give up ;)
That's a perfect attitude to have :)
Do you have to do this
You dont but it helps
Couldnt see how you were doing it cuz the words were in the way.
Struggling to work out who was the best presenter on this vid lol!! Nice work there Tony!! I normally string as my plaiting is not so good :)
Yeah, she turned out to be a little star. Thanks, Give it a go this year. see how you go
She's adorable.im sure she is all grown and a beautiful young lady .. why do I count 11, first you said 12 then you keep saying 10
lol maybe im a little crazy. Yeah she is nearly 15 now grown up fast but still my princess
Hahahah..Chip off the 'ol block, alright..hahahah
yep tell me about it lol
Still looks complicated lol im gonna stick to puting mine in a net bag pmsl
It really isn't hard, maybe I just make it look much harder than it is
Or maybe im just a bit Thick lol im so glad ive only got a son no messing tryin to plait hair in a morning ready for school pmsl
lol tell me about it. 2 girls does get you learning new skills thats for sure lol
Funny
I always learn from your videos! My question is when you want to clip one off to use do you start at the bottom or top?
Great information. But, you forgot to put a link to your co-host's channel!
Great! It looks easy to braid garlic. I am going to try it,but first show me how to produce allot garlic...thnks. Watching you from Los Angeles,CA.USA
Plenty of videos on it on my channel type garlic simplify into search
Good Stuff, Same principle with the Onions I take it mate?
Yes if they are soft neck you cant braid hardneck you need to string those, but onions can be plaited but better off stringed
Cheers man
Absolutely lovely daughter you have!
Thank you so much April she is over 5ft 5 now lol. check out her helping me in last weeks compost video
That's the best way of doing from what I've seen. Your daughter is a real star.
Thanks. she turns 12 in a couple of months and is 5.3"
Your daughter is so cute!
Thank you!! 😊 She is a lot older now. 12 going on 30 and is 5'3 now too
never grown garlic before but im growing it this year, thats a really neat plait youve done, esp as its dry n thick, unlike plaiting human hair, i use to plait my hair n friends hair when i was younger, and managed to do plaits with 4 as well as the usual 3. really cute to see your daughter with you.
Love the little cameo of Caitlyn she's a little star, Has for the Garlic i leave it to the Mrs And two Daughters to do the Plaiting 😄👍 With Regards Mark
That is certainly an easier way to do it Mark. lmao.. Yeah she loves being there with me, We filmed a few episodes that day so she is getting some additional roles lol
Fantastic advice and information on platting soft neck garlic I'm glad I left all the leaves now so I'm definitely going to be doing this this week !!
Thanks. How did your Garlic grow this year? Do you Plait or just tie?
Caitlin wants us to leave a comment, eh? Ok, here it is : Kids will always show you up! Lol! Love it! That's how I plait my soft neck garlic. I grow soft neck garlic here, not cold enough for the hard necked variety, just doesn't do as well.
Thanks, Caitlyn is chuffed you mention her in the comment
That is the cutest video that I have seen. It is wonderful to see a father interact with his daughter the way that you do. She is beautiful. Thank you for the garlic braid instructions also.
Hi Dorothy, Thanks for your comment I am glad you enjoyed the video. Caitlyn has grown so much since this video but still loves coming to the garden with her dad :)
Your daughter is gorgeous! Reminds me of my granddaughter!
Oh thank you very much :)
Lovely video. I will try your way next year i have never been able to get a lovely plait but i see where my mistake was.
That's good hopefully you will get a nice tight plait next year, be sure to post pics in the groups so i can see how its goes :) Thanks for your comments
