Growing garlic bulbs outdoors helps them get better nutrients according to Martha Stewart.

You will have to take care of your sprouts throughout the year by watering them if you don’t live in a country where the cold winter puts the plants to sleep. But you can only harvest in July.
If you plant the bulbs indoors:

1) Simply hang a yogurt pot and poke holes in the bottom.

2) Add organic soil. Fill the pot with about 1.27 cm (1/2 inch) of soil.

3) Gently break the garlic bulbs into individual cloves, leaving the skin on each intact, but it’s okay if it crumbles a little

4) Push each pod into the soil and add about 2.5cm (1 inch) of soil, with the pointed end towards the top of the pot. You can plant up to 12 pods glued on top of each other.

5) Cut all the flowers that will grow to maintain the good flavor of the garlic as much as possible

6) Place the pot on a saucer to collect excess water, water well and place in a sunny place.

Water to always keep the soil moist, but not soggy. But garlic is not a very thirsty plant

7) If you don’t have a yogurt tub, use a large margarine pan cut widthwise, as pictured. As long as it is drilled and there is good water drainage

8) Once the garlic has 5-6 leaves, it is ready to grow!
