Thank you, yes. We realized (now) different devices are louder. ☺️ A real learning curve for us. Gardener here, not to techy. New videos will definitely be toned way down! I appreciate suggestions.

Thank you so much ..

Also, people like me, w Early On Set Alzheimers have trouble concentrating w background noise

Yes !!!!!

Hmmmm, onion’s definitely get bigger when interplanted with brassicas. No interplanting??

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback! ☺️

What kind of fertilizer?

We need to be neighbors! 😁

You are very welcome!

You are welcome

Your welcome. I’m so glad you got something out it!

How do you spell the acid you use to soak, and where is it found?

Such a good idea! vernalization! I wish I would have put that in the video! Thanks for sharing 😊

I wish we could know what growing Zone you are in,,,I’m in Yuma, AZ

I am in Phoenix, AZ...I would add that it is OK to plant the cloves 4" to 6" deep to help moderate to keep the soil temp lower as the air and soil temp heat up nearing harvest time. This Video is one of the best "ALL-Round" yearly planting guides on You Tube. Thank You for posting. @@Alisorganics

She's a sweetie!

Thanks! That HOT sun can sure do some damage... Yes there is a lot of truth to the end clip! I just can't stop sometimes! 😁

Thank you very much!

@@Alisorganics you're welcome 😁

Glad it was helpful!

Garlic has to be my favorite crop! It’s almost time once again for planting!

yes, we realized with the music being to loud. We live from our mistakes for sure! Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you! Welcome new subscriber!

Welcome! Happy planting 😊

Noted!

Thank you!

You are so welcome!

I LOVE Spanish Roja too! You’re right, it is so good.

That’s because it my FAVORITE crop!

@Ali's Organic Garden & Homestead Only thing that rivals a nice zesty piece of garlic is a thick slice of heirloom tomato 😋

Many thanks!

Your welcome and thank you as well!

You bet!

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 😊

Will do!!

Thank you!

You're welcome!

Thank you very much! I love gardening and especially garlic growing!

@@Alisorganics you have new sab.

You're welcome!

I"ve done that many times! 😉

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you as well! 😊

Wow, Thank You!!!

Yes! Humid acid and liquid kelp. :) Humaplex is a concentrate of humid acid.

@@Alisorganicsinteresting. I never heard of humid acid. Is this good for southern climates? Where are you located??? Thanks for great video.

I’m sorry about the music. That was one of our lessons learned. Thanks for the feedback

Thank you for the feedback ☺️

Sounds like you have great soil where you live and WATER! lol! We are in the desert. Bad soil and little rainfall. Isn't it nice to get bigger yields than what you plant? 😊

@@Alisorganics I don't think there exists better native soil anywhere on Earth, endless rock free loam, seen excavator dug trench 18 ft deep cut with a light bucket, looked the same all the way down. (rumor has it that it's over 100ft thick in some places, unbelievable) We had wetter winter, likely need to water some in average winter. Also a big believer in good mulch layer. Many recommend lifting bulbs with a fork or something but I just pulled them out no prob. Thanks for your efforts, info and reply!

@@Alisorganics Desert soils are often very rich in minerals but not very thick nor rock free. Rainforest soils are leached out and poor.

@@MrbfgrayI was wondering where you have soil like that. Like around the river delta areas, Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto, etc? I grew up near there (but not down in the agricultural areas). Always heard the stories about the fantastic soil.

@@happyoutside2558 Anything but an expert but from contracting for agriculture for couple decades within few hrs of Chico, and my own yard in Chico, a lot of variability. Must be some sort of soil maps online. General trends seem to be sandier shallower, rockier soils near hills on either side or toward end of valley, which makes sense, but also some sandy soils elsewhere. Mineral soils are maybe underrated as apposed to loam but loam allows for easy digging, gardening and farming. (anything but too much clay, shallow lava cap or hardpan, is workable) Many fields seem to only have few feet of top loam soil but I haven't been able to find the the bottom of loam with a hand shovel as deep as I care to dig...say 4 or 5 ft, in my own yard.

Glad you liked it!

Hello and thank you for your heart emoji ; however, there was no answer about watering between time of planting and spring time.

Well noted! This was one of our learning lessons. Thanks for the feedback.

1 foot is generally good enough. 18” if possible, is better. I grow 100 cloves in a 12” trough and they turned out pretty well.

@@Alisorganics Thank you!!

I’m sure the baking soda helps. I do a little cover crops here and there but mostly I grow tomatoes, squash or sweet potatoes after the garlic is up. There is always something in every speck of garden space year round. Thank you for you kind comments. It’s very much appreciated 🌻

They will still be ready the same time as usual, just a bit smaller bulbs. Turbans are ready mid May, softnecks June, hard necks early July here in southern Utah. Northern utah is usually a month behind us. I’ve planted as late as January and they just didn’t get the bulb size, but we’re right on time to harvest here. 😉. I hope that helps.

Thank you for that information, the roots were drying out so I put them in water and now they are sprouting, as soon as it quits raining they are going into yard.

All softneck garlic have pretty much the same benefits for using medicinally. They are the best! I really like inchellium red for size and how well they do in our climate, like your 8b. We are very dry so watering in the winter is essential! And thank you!

@@Alisorganics wow thank you so much for your quick response........

@@tanyaprisbrey4184 I LOVE all turban type garlic (blossom, basque) the best. They are early and I can get another different crop in a month sooner. I also like red inchellium soft neck.

I fertilize at planting time and once again in January or February one last time.

Most garden centers/nurseries will carry bulbs for planting. My favorite is Filaree Garlic Farm. They are excellent for online ordering.

you might want to use the smaller cloves for replanting and use the larger ones for cooking.

I use a lot of garlic for our household. At least 3-5 bulbs a week. We also have a big garlic braiding class which takes a large portion of garlic, plus what we put in our CSA baskets and farm store. With as many as I plant never seems like enough! But of course our situation is pretty different than the average home gardens needs. 😊

That’s creole garlic! It taste so good, stores very well and BEAUTIFUL right!?!? I love them.

If you have some kitchen veg scraps you could bury them in the soil below where you plant. You could also mulch once planted with leaves, grass clippings (1-2” layer) or other organic matter and all of these will break over time and feed the soil.

That's exactly what i do!!

I’m in southern Utah. Zone 8. It is dry here so we have to amend our soils heavily and water through the winter.

What zone are you in? I love hardnecks, but they don’t do well here, even though we freeze, it’s not cold enough for hardneck. We are zone 8 and all softnecks and turban varieties do well.

I’d be happy to! When is your first average frost date?

@@Alisorganics 12 October.

Sorry about that. We definitely have learned from this. Thank you.

They do best when you pull each year, but beings you have them, pull them separate and replant. They will be fine doing it now while the temps are cooler. You could also still soak them in the kelp solution after you pull them if you want for 16 minutes ish. The kelp will also help with transplant shock, although garlic transplants pretty easy in the fall when it’s leaves are young. I hope that helps! 😁

Yes! Agreed! Seasonal, soil, location, variety, ect all affect the end result. So yes, I do many trials on what I do. I am an avid garden and weather journalling nerd and love doing trials. I’m a skeptic with most everything until proven otherwise. That makes us better at what we do! 😊 Garlic and Heirloom tomatoes are my favorite crops and play around with different growing methods every year. With garlic I did a three year trial with out and with different solutions to soak garlic using the same variety, soil, location and food and was very happy with the results. I used bone meal in the beds for several years and found it did not make any noticeable difference in the garlic bulbs. Years (many years) back I read that garlic likes phosphorous and no nitrogen. Since I’ve learned thats not true. I used nitrogen' sources of blood meal and feather meal and there was not noticeable difference in the long run. larger greens with the blood meal in the beginning, but the garlic feed with feather meal caught up by February and bulb size was no noticeable difference. I appreciate your comment! I kinda wish I spent a little time on this topic. probably more info than needed, but fun to chat with fellow gardeners!

Thank you for the feedback. We realized and have learned from this. Thanks.😉

I use 1 -2 teaspoons per quart of liquid kelp.

Thank you!@@Alisorganics

Kelp/seaweed are really the best. You could soak dry kelp or seaweed overnight rather than the liquid form. I hope that helps. 😊

Just keep them indoors at room temperature 70°ish and out of direct light. I keep mine in a paper bag with a few holes for more ventilation.

@@Alisorganics thank you again for your help.....

I do plant garlic in the same place for about three years running and then change for a couple years. I don’t worry about crop rotation with garlic like I do other crops. If there were a problem I would definitely not do that. ☺️
