You don’t need much to grow garlic at home—just a few basic supplies:
Garlic bulbs (organic or local varieties work best)
A large pot or container (at least 8–10 inches deep with drainage holes)
Well-draining potting soil (rich in organic matter)
Compost or natural fertilizer (optional but recommended)
Sunny location (balcony, windowsill, patio, etc.)
Watering can or spray bottle
Preparation (Planting Garlic in a Pot)
Choose the right garlic:
Pick firm, healthy garlic bulbs—avoid those that are soft or moldy. Break them into individual cloves, leaving the papery skins intact.
Prep the pot:
Fill your pot with well-draining soil, leaving about 1 inch from the top. Mix in compost for extra nutrients.
Plant the cloves:
Push each garlic clove (pointy side up!) about 2 inches deep into the soil and 4 inches apart. Cover gently with soil.
