These are just a few real easy ways to grow garlic in milk jugs, laundry baskets, and the green stalks of the garlic are so much better than the actual clove. Thanks for watching

You since to be nice guy

The world would be a better place with more men like you...

Thx for your demo!

after harvesting your garlic..how long is the garlic left to cure before cooking.......?

I luv to see people improvising in their gardening methods, I see you've made good use of an old milk carton for a garlic container, Gr8 idea👍

Your corn is needing nitrogen badly watering using 1 tablespoon of non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of rainwater will green them up fast--let them dry slightly between each watering when growing in a small pot like you have to prevent your soil from souring.

I've grown corn in 14" pots--3-4 seed per---used coffee grounds, blood and bone meal (1 cup of each) mixed well into 50/50 peat/sand blend before planting seed. When sprouts were 4" tall started watering using 1 tablespoon of non-sudsing ammonia per gallon of rainwater. When corn stalks were about 2' tall pots were put into 2'x2'x4"Deep trays and kept the trays at least 1/2 full of the ammonia/water mix. Each month adding 1/4 cup of dehydrated chicken manure per pot. Yield was 5 to 7 nice large ears of corn per pot. If doing outside protect them from wind. I'm in Michigan (SW) and grew 3 crops of sweetcorn a season per pot-(Mid March to Late October) in unheated greenhouse. Reuse same soil by add more coffee grounds, blood/bone meal and 4 tablespoons of pulverized lime.

This video makes me want to try a 3 sisters guild in a huge pot like the one you have your corn in! Lol! I planted corn and squash in the backyard just about a week ago but I think it'd be a neat experiment to have a few stalks of corn growing in a big container like this. Hmmm....

Good stuff, and thanks for posting, but I don't think that corn situation is ideal. Corn needs to be planted in blocks, mainly because of cross-pollination. You can try to manually pollinate them, but even then, each stalk of corn will only yield one or two ears of corn, so a container on a balcony isn't going to be the best situation. Still, if they both grow to maturity, you'll get four ears of corn that are WAY better than anything you'll ever buy in the store.

You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you!

I use plastic cake trays with the covers. I used almost all of a store-bought head of garlic but left one wedge attached to the root disk. I dropped the whole root disk attached to the piece in a cup of water and let it stand about 3 days. The little whitish fingerling roots came alive and I changed the water with fresh and soaked the top also. The dried out withered tip swelled up and came back to life. I planted it upright in soft soil with about 1/2 the wedge standing out. In 2 days the green sprout has begun going aerial. With another head of garlic, I broke the wedges off and tried to retain a piece of the dried root disk intact on each wedge. I repeated the soaking method and now I have more growing also the same way but I think using the whole root disk is going to give me some time savings on growing another root disk. This one is growing like a shot.

You don't want too many fruit bearing plants together competing for water and nutrients.

Do I have to put manure underneath my soil?

how did you sprouts them please

How hard can these freeze? I grow garlic in the ground but would like to grow it in a container. We are in zone 5.

thank you
this increase my knowledge

nice video but could you increase the volume? Thank You

Why every time i plant garlic, the leaves aren't growing well? It will just extend from 3 inches from the stem then after 2 weeks becomes thinner and then turns to yellow then sooner it becomes rotten ...

u suck

If only I planted my corn in a container.... my hubby wouldn't have run it over with the lawn mower. >.< Awesome video... I subscribed!!

You have amazing eyes... Thx for the tips! Great instructions. Will plant my left over garlic next to my basil tonite, and start some milk jug onions and garlic this weekend. Hubby likes it when I go all domestic on him.
