YouTube instructional video by Nicole Johnsey Burke (Gardenerie) explaining how to grow garlic at home in three simple steps: (1) order appropriate garlic (buy certified organic; choose hardneck for cold climates or softneck for warm ones; prefer farmer’s markets or seed suppliers over grocery-store bulbs), (2) prepare beds or containers and time planting around first fall frost (or simulate winter by refrigerating bulbs ~4–6 weeks in frost-free areas), and (3) separate and plant cloves ~10–15 cm deep with ~3–4 inches spacing, optionally mulch for winter, then harvest next summer. The creator also promotes The 5-Minute Gardener book and Gardenerie planning tools and links to grow-bag products.

Questions this video answers
