Grow Garlic in a Yogurt Pot. Who said 'It can't be done'?
I am growing some garlic in 10″ water buckets and have some ‘reserves’ sitting on soil in a Yogurt pot. The garlic cloves now have ‘roots and shoots’ so it would …
I've just found your channel and absolutely love your videos it reminds me of when I was little and learning to grow veg with my gran, I've finally got a garden of my own and started to grow my own veg and will be using your channel for guidence keep on keeping on being amazing x
I like the idea of that many in a large pot. Good luck can't wait to see how many turn up and how big they get. 🌞
Great video! Love it! Just like I do my experiments! I have found out that over planting in buckets may result in smaller sized veg but when it comes to taste it's compensated by greater flavour!! Best garlic I've ever tasted came from compacted pot planting! Let us know how yours compare!
I love you videos, from the US.

Hello. Glad to see you mentioning the winter onion sets previously planted. Followed your video and gave it ago. Mine are still outside despite winds and rain .maybe I should bring them under cover do you think. Is my first time growing onion sets..what do you think? I’m in Manchester. Is your greenhouse heated ?
Thank you for your video … really enjoyed it!!!
I think you have your next concept after square foot bucket garden – square foot yogurt pot gardening. Good experiment though with the planting seeing how much space you really need for garlic. IMO many spacing requirements are written for large scale operations where tilling and weeding is done by machine and not by hand like in the home garden.
I more liked it when you told the whole story´s
Most instructions say the plant needs several days of very cold conditions for the cloves to form. So if you don’t get them outside and hope that today’s cold weather continues for a week or more the maturing bulb will not separate into cloves. It has happened to me and I had no idea until recently. So they will grow but remain one large clove. 😏
I've got 15 garlic in a 14"x 11" file tote (about 8 gallons) planted back in November, and they're doing quite well. Can't wait to see how this experiment with the yogurt pots goes!
I started mine in December in a 10 inch bucket 5 per bucket
Interesting to see the results Jim. The plants in the yogurt pots should do okay as that is about the same amount of growing space each would need. Take care Jim I hope the weather has started to get better over there Cheers Harold
Can’t wait
I hope it works for you, Jim. I had a half head of garlic a few weeks ago that was getting old. So, I went out and tossed it in my compost pile on a warmer day to see if it would sprout in the spring and got a new head…which sprouted on my counter immediately after I got it home. So, it's going into some containers for now. 🤣
I really admire your attitude- let's find out!
Great idea – how did this come to you 🤔
I have binge watched your videos over the past week or so. It needs to stop raining over there so you can make more videos! I’m frustrated, I have started gathering my supplies for my container garden project. I want to get started. It has the appearance that Spring is coming early here in the Southern US. Trees and daffodils are budding and blooming. However, our weather is contrary and we could still get a freeze, snow, or ice as late as mid- April. I think I will try starting some things and use a clear plastic bin as a mini greenhouse on my porch and see how that works. 🤞🏽
I've got two crowded little pots of sprouting garlic in the cold kitchen window sill. The little bitty middle cloves that are a pain to peel and use have been pushed in with them too. About 2 months from now our cool spring will be here and they will head right in out to the garden. I've grown a few this way every year for a long time. Do they get as big as my fall planted main crop. No not really but they all produce some type of head. And i occasionally cut a bit of the green sprouted tops to chop fine into my cooking like a garlicy flavored green onion/scallion. Never wasting things here if i can help it Ive also potted up a couple sprouted onions, just sat them in a bit of dirt in a cup. When they get big in the window they get cut as green onion. Lovely in an omelet or scrambled egg and once again no waste. I have compost pile and chickens so most veg scrap goes out and not in the trash bin any way but a bit of fresh green in the dark of winter is always welcome. Happy gardening. I predict a decent garlic haul for you this summer HGV. 👍👍
I tried something similar last year, grew some Casablanca in a pot with a very close spacing. The results were very poor but gave me shallots for this years planting. Hope you have better luck.
I have never been successful in growing garlic. Tried some last year but thought it had failed so just pulled them out and threw them in a disused plant pot. Then back end of the year noticed they had sprouted in the poor conditions i left them in so have re-potted them. They have come on well so hopefully have better luck this year
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. I have been experimenting with growing garlic. I have 4 garlic plants which I potted in a yogurt pot. They got to a point where I had to cut the foliage.I will be moving them to bigger pots. Yesterday I put three bulbs of garlic which were sprouting in water. Today I checked them and they had roots. I also have 15 cloves in a 19×11 inch container in my cold storage room at a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.
Looking forward to the results 👌👌👌
I have bunch of pots of garlic done up. And just found some cloves i the kitchen that hace started to sprout. Good thing I like garlic. Is your garlic the scape garlic? They are one of the reasons I plant a lot. I love garlic scapes.
Got some yoghurt pots spare, will give it ago. Thanks for sharing.
