Dang, I must've gotten really lucky when I planted garlic in my backyard - I sort of just barely pushed some bulbs (from the grocery store) into the dirt and walked away. Now, ten years later, it has spread along my fence line and grows prolifically every year. Must be hundreds of plants out there now, but I typically trim off about 1/3 of the garlic scapes, and pull up even fewer bulbs. I also planted wild garlic the same way in a different spot - and the same thing happened with those.
Been thinking of digging it all up and planting in a raised bed to better control things, so this video helps.

In a garden so smelly, not far from the town,
Grew garlic so strong, it could knock you right down!
The gardener was proud, with a grin ear to ear,
"Come visit my garlic!" he'd shout far and near.
People would come, but they'd quickly retreat,
The smell of the garlic knocked them off their feet!
But the gardener just laughed, "It's the scent of success!"
While munching on garlic, in his garlic-pressed dress.
He'd dance through his rows, with a garlic bulb crown,
Singing, "Garlic's the king, it will never back down!"
His garden grew famous, a smelly delight,
Even vampires stayed far, flying off in the night!
So here's to the garden, where garlic's the star,
So potent and pungent, you could smell it from afar.
It might not be roses, but to the gardener's part,
The smell of strong garlic was the scent of his heart!

Im in zone 6a. Northeastern PA. Ive tried 3 times with seed garlic and theyve all failed. Last year i stuck a bag of sprouting garlic from sams club in the ground. I got a ton of garlic this past year. Freaking crazy! They were also softneck which is weird to me but it worked. I saved a ton of garlic for planting this year so im hoping these cloves "remember " they were here before and do great again. I left out all of the tiny cloves and only kept the big ones. Im hoping for success again.

My mom's been struggling with garlic for years now. This year in May she finally accepted a bit of help (I had to be subtle though, I told her to try to use the garlic that was in the fridge) and I put a big amount of compost on them while planting. And not as close as she used to plant them. She was so surprised when this year she finally had garlic in her garden. I wish she could speak English and I could show her this video. I'm visiting her in November and thank you so much for this video, I will plant some garlic for her, so she can have some already planted in the spring. I will definitely give it a try here as well, although my climate tends to be warmer. Great video and tips as always. ๐
