I have to use chicken wire over the soil after I plant....because the squirrels dig it up...ugh. I put about 1-2” of crushed fall leaves under the wire. Garlic has no issue pushing thru the wire in the spring.

Thank you for the info. Those dang squirrels did that to me. But then left the garlic so i replanted. For now I put tulle on top.

Good advice thanks

I just planted garlic I got at the grocery store. Did well last year. Pretty sure it was soft neck.

Staggering the rows is a good idea, IMO.

I'm in Talladega Co. Alabama. Every year is different, so it is a crap shoot as to whether we will have hard freeze and snow or not. I just happen to have a bunch of uneaten garlic in my kitchen. It is probably soft neck, having been purchased at a big box store. I have it, so I may as well plant it. The first frost is early this year, Tuesday. Four weeks after the first frost is planting day, so about November 15th. We had a hot summer with summer hear arriving a month early, so I am betting on a long cold winter this year. I am prepared for it with hoops on all of my raised beds, and more than enough 6 mil greenhouse plastic. (Not the stuff purchased at the local stores.)

Great video Gary, don't forget about the scapes. Thanks 👍

Squirrels love garlic, i had to cover mine for the past few years

I mix my granulated fertilizer in with the soil and after I poke the holes for the cloves I put a little bone meal dust in each hole. I also put about 4-6" of straw on the bed over the winter.

Canada grows only hard necked but I keep hearing that soft necked garlic stores longer.....we get more than 6 months of deep winter....

I wish I could grow hardneck garlic where I am. German garlic is my favorite and the big cloves are so easy to peel!

Hardneck Garlic can be grown in warmer climates... take the garlic and put it in FRIDGE (NOT FREEZER) for 2 months, THEN plant it, before "winter."

I always thought your area got cold and snow. Guess I better study a bit. lol Where is the best place to buy soft neck garlic? Can I just buy organic from the market? Oh, we’ve already eaten my first wave of radishes and just had the last watermelon tonight. I’m so so happy that I’m able to garden again using raised totes. My back loves it and I love it!

It does for sure. But I can grow both. They both can deal with winters but soft neck does not need cold. It is not harmed by cold.

If it’s not organic it’s probably got growth inhibitors sprayed on. Grocery stores don’t want sprouting garlic. Try washing them good or buy the organic and try again. I bought elephant garlic from a local farmers market and they all sprouted and are used to my area. Hope this was helpful!

Is it mandatory that they don't freeze? We're zone 4b/5a. Even with mulch the ground freezes solid for 3-4 months. The garlic comes up in the spring okay so far but maybe we've just been lucky?

Will garlic work as a deterrent for deer if planted near otger plants the do like?
