Me again, Big Kev. Could you add your location to your profile please, is it up a Wooden Hill?

Welcome to the vine BK, Garlic is easier to grow if the conditions are right, free draining fertile soil is number one, closely followed by a light sunny position. Like VC states add your location as it will help us other avice.
what type of soil do you have and is it a sunny aspect?Comment

Hello, and welcome to the Madhouse!
I have only grown garlic a couple of times, and I had really good results. If it helps, both times the beds were in a sunny aspect, one sheltered, the other, windy. Both beds were very rich with organic matter.
Get some rotted chicken or horse poo, and experiment in tubs over winter, to see how you get on. Good luck! All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

Hi Kev and welcome. I grew garlic last year and it did ok, though not spectacularly well. There are several possible reasons for failure so I can't really guess what your problem might be without more info.Comment

Hello Kev
My garlic is always a bit of hit and miss - its my fault for owning a dog that eats it. I go have to grow at least a few because I am sure my next door neighbour could be a vampire! Oh too much wine last light.
A friend once made garlic vodka - not recommended!.
