I saw scapes at the farmer market and I was wondering what that was!
In my childhood we added some rice to the salt to keep it dry and prevent clogging. Maybe it could work with garlic powder too and you don't need those silica bags then..
I dehydrate using lowest temperature possible bc heat changes the flavour. I used to spread garlic on a baking tray set in front of a room dehydrator. I grind with a cheap coffee grinder and sift it over canning funnel into jar. The coarse pieces either go back into the grinder or stored as granulated garlic. I reuse the silica packs from sushi nori to keep my garlic powder from clumping. For replanting, use your biggest best cloves for the largest bulbs. You never need to buy seed garlic again except to keep collecting more varieties. I'm guilty of growing 12 hardneck varieties.

are there any adaptations for growing garlic in containers? Im in zone 5
I pan fry garlic scapes! Yum Yum
what climate do you cure them in? such as…. indoors or outdoors? or does that not matter?
I don't have a dehydrator… but I make picked garlic for storage. Equally delicious
Man! If I lived just two hours closer I would volunteer to come work in your homestead for free just to learn from you in person. Please keep up the great content!!!
Can you make a video about growing sunflower
If you find yourself with too much garlic, ever heard of making black garlic? I always wanted to try making some since I've heard good things about it.
Gee, all I do is put a bulb in basalt clay soil, and boom Garlic. thanks for the informative video.
I’ve been dehydrating garlic for years now. What I do, instead of thin slicing, is to make a “garlic mash” with the cloves added to some water and placed in a blender. I spread the mash onto wax paper and place it in my dehydrator. After the mash has completely dried out, I use the food processor to grind the garlic into whatever consistency I desire. Thumbs up on the whole garlic series!!!
This is SO helpful! Thank you, Kevin!!
needs shirt says Vampire killer and has picture of garlic on it. green and black and black and orange collor shirts for merch store.
You should sun dry.
"Thick, long, voluminous garlic scapes." As you said the words I pictured my hair growing back in but now, it's all garlic scapes.
I was horrified at first, but now I think I'd definitely be into it. Never ending supply of scapes and always at hand!
I live in garlic country north of Gilroy CA and they just dig up the garlic in the fields and leave them piled up in the rows to cure for about 2 weeks. They also have to post armed guards now to keep the "Garlic Rustlers" from stealing out of the fields! Sure smells garlicy around here in July-Sept.
Thanks!
Per best garlic grower in country, cut scapes when it loops into P shape, then only cut to point of upper leaves, not down to base.
Once bottom leaves, 40% of all leaves brown, shut off watering and allow to dry for 1-2,weeks, then pull.
If you end up with a bulb that stayed as a single large one, keep it and plant again because it likely becomes very big garlic following year
12:26 – you need a funnel set if you don't already own one.
It's looks great. I love garlic. I never thought to make my own garlic powder
This was extremely helpful! I know now to plant them a lot deeper and mulch them over. And thanks for showing a way to process them after they've been harvested.
I'm loving these videos, freshly new to the garden world! Thank you for making these videos.
