    I have watched too many YouTube videos on this topic...so I am polling the local experts.

    Is it better to plant single cloves of garlic, or just plant a whole head of garlic?

    Hoping to hear from folks who have tried both methods in our locale!

    If you want a lots of tiny garlic heads and cloves, plant the whole head; but if you want decent-sized garlic, plant the individual cloves. And for the largest garlic heads and cloves, plant the largest cloves available with adequate space between cloves.
