How to plant Garlic in the fall, Canada

I shot this video in 2009 on MiniDV videotape, now 12 years ago! I'm so happy it's still doing so well, thank you my viewers.
Growing garlic is very easy. Plant garlic in the fall, this will give it time to develop roots before going dormant over the winter.
If you plant it in the spring, bulbs will be small or you may end up with just green shoots.

In this video I'm planting garlic I grew last year. I pulled it up 3 months ago in mid-July and cured it outside for 6 to 8 weeks.
Plant garlic in mid-October after the first frost, but before ground is frozen.
Don't plant grocery store garlic, it will just grow long stalk, but won't develop a bulb.

Each bulb has 5 to 6 cloves. Break bulbs apart into cloves just before planting, choose the largest cloves to plant.

Garlic will grow long roots, 6" to 8" long. Prepare soil for planting, turn over the soil 8" to 12", add black earth and composted sheep manure.
Plant 6" to 8" apart, tip of the clove should be 2" below the soil surface.
