I’m in zone 8a…North Central TX. I always grow hardneck garlic because of the deeper flavor. I’ve had great luck storing it 9-12 months - I dry it really well on a chicken wire frame for 2-3 weeks, then clean and store in mesh storage bags that I hang in a dark closet.

End of Oct I'll be putting my garlic in the ground. I have to grow hardneck varieties. Last year was my first time. Easy to grow. The freshness of the garlic when harvested you can't beat. Like anything homegrown of course. It's such an easy crop to save seed from for the next year. I feel like I need to grow 500 but no space for that lol. I love to freeze my peeled garlic cloves for storage if I feel they are turning bad in the pantry. Now I'm going to try different varieties cuz why not! Lol

I did not do a full harvest video, but I do have a short on storing it. The overall yield was great, especially on the Music variety. All the heavy rains however did create ideal conditions for allium rust which did stunt a good majority of my plants. The bulbs formed but were about 60-70% of the size I would have expected them to be.

In this case I am only using this manure based compost because its organic manure so that should reduce most risks. I also know for example that a lot of local small farms in the are use their compost so I know its good. You can test compost by growing peas in it and if they come up all twisted and weird then it is contaminated. I found this source by messaging a local farm and asking where they get theirs!

I love your videos but I do wonder whether there’s a point of over-complication. I’m not claiming you’re wrong by any means, I’m sure the sterilise / fertilise is a sound approach but in practice I wonder if it’s necessary. I’ve been growing garlic for 4 years now and I can’t say I’ve seen many issues. You do get the odd bad clove but you usually plant so many cloves it’s not really an issue. If I was to buy the cheapest vodka I know of, it’s probably still more money than if I just bought garlic to use throughout the year instead of growing it. No hate! Love the channel ❤
@jacquesinthegarden
Жыл бұрын
It is for sure not required and last year I can't even recall if I bothered with it. But with garlic the return is quite high. If I increase my yield by even just 20% across 200 heads of garlic that can be quite significant. Of course I have no way of knowing if I increased the yield by any %. As for the disease soak one benefit that is real is knowing that I reduce the risk of bringing in a disease to my soil. With garlic if you contaminate the soil with disease you could basically lock that part of your garden out from garlic growing for many years or maybe forever. Depending on how large your garden is that could mean you don't have anywhere left to grow it.

Its really hard to tell honestly, I can't really prove that it would even help but most organic farms recommend it when they send the garlic seed out. I do feel confident that it gives it some boost at the start to get roots established quickly. But maybe in cold climates you don't want to stimulate early growth and risk it poking it out of the ground too soon.

Usually its not enough water, or periods of dryness, also at the start of the season hitting it with nitrogen will really get it going fast and then as you approach the last few months you want to stop fertilizing so that it produces a bulb rather than just greens. Lastly if you are in a warm climate and planted hardneck it may not have become cold enough for it bulb properly.

@@thirstymercfan I find my garlic comes up fairly quickly if the temperature is fine. I get some black flies also. They seem to love my chives first, then my green onions. So maybe put some chives around your garlic? I spray the black fly with a strong spray of water if they are overwhelming my chive clump, though I have so many clumps of chives all around the garden, that a lost clump here or there doesn't hurt. I was going to tear out some clumps, but 1) I use a lot of chives, and 2) I think they might attract some things away or off my other plants, and 3) in summer, the hover flies and mantids love the flowers, so the most I do is clip the clumps smaller. Just a thought.
