The One Garlic Trick Most Gardeners Never Learn

Planting garlic seems simple, until half your bulbs come up small, soft, or not at all. This video walks through seven checks my grandad swore by, the kind nobody bothers to write down anymore. You will learn how to pick the right cloves, when the ground is really ready, how deep to plant, and what most bags of store garlic won't ever tell you. We cover clove selection, soil temperature, planting depth, spacing, mulch timing, watering mistakes, and the one sign your garlic is ready to break apart and plant. These are the kind of details that used to just get passed down at the kitchen table, from one gardener to the next, season after season. If you have ever planted a whole row of garlic and gotten nothing but tiny bulbs back, this one is for you. Subscribe if you want more of these old-family growing lessons. If you missed last week's video on curing onions for winter storage, that one pairs well with this. I also put together a short seasonal planting checklist, link is down below if you want it. #gardening #garlicgrowing #heritagegardening #fallplanting
