Today we're going to be plaiting garlic and I'm joining in with my dad.
so this is my harvested garlic from this year and I will put a video in the
corner above to show you how we Dry this garlic off, but and there's a couple
of things that I do before we plait garlic and that's the first thing I do
is I trim off all of the roots off the bottom now you it's not essential that
you do this okay but it does make for a neater plait I'm just going to get this
down over the way a moment to give us some room. Thanks babe
that's right we don't need those no more right good well okay so the first thing
that we need to do with garlic okay we need a minimum of twelve bulbs guys
okay as you can see here I've already trimmed these they're all nice and dry
alright now you can trim them down but if you remember in the video that we put
up in the corner I do suggest that you don't do that
alright now this is how your first start hmm because you need the length love so
that you can plait it. It makes it easier plaiting now we know in the Facebook and
Twitter groups people have been telling this that they've been struggling with
plaiting garlic and although mine isn't the neatest to plaits it's still an
easier way of doing it so you need a minimum of ten bulbs and this is how you
do it guys okay you set 10 no 10 you set your bulbs on the table and you
basically do a crisscross like that with three bulbs guys okay alright that's the
important bit now we're going to take the bottom bulb and we're going to feed
it around the neck to the garlic
and we're going to come back nice and tight you need this three need to
pull it nice and tight but you need these two side ones going off okay and and you
then take that to the middle and you pull the middle one out to the side.
Yes it does look like when I'm doing your hair. yeah wasn't very good was it?
it was kind of cool cause that's when
I got out the bath - yeah so we take the next garlic and it always goes in the
center guys alright so place it in the center there alright and then we're now
going to bring over the left hand we're going to slide them across there and we
bring the left hand one here we now take one and place it to the right and we
bring them across to the center. Sorry
One to the right take them across and then bring that one to the right into
the center keep this as tight as possible guys now we need to place one
on the left there, bring to the center bring these ones over stretch those
across and essentially what you're doing is locking in the garlic into place same
thing one in the middle right down the middle
okay bring them ones over and all you doing guys is creating a plait and the tighter
you can keep this plait the better so you need one on the right now again it
goes down the middle and then these right ones come over and they go to the
side keep that nice and tight and you're just continue this until you've used all
of the garlic up so that goes there, like that, one on the right there actually we will
put one in the center there we put these on the right pull it nice and tight fine
and this one the very last one guys now you can continue this as much as you
like you can have lots of garlic and just keep going with this process. Once
you get to this stage okay you just literally continue plaiting the garlic
over each other
right the way down until you come more or less to the end
don't worry about things breaking just keep plaiting. The way I do your
plaits in you're hair not as rough as here mind guys. okay so at this stage you're have a
couple of options we can just tie that off we can feed this back on itself
and tie it to the back like this, now I'll be back in a moment
see there a sec I just need to go get a cable tie. okay so there are little
pieces left guys that's because we have to go. they are very
rough them. you can hear the crunch so I don't know, but I am not aloud to touch anything sharp. This is
actually cool I think it's cool enough because I think my daddy
makes me happy when he does plaits except they really hurt. If
you like me leave a comment down below or you can you can
leave them and I'll ask daddy what comment down below you should actually
add. I don't know if I'm sick or not. It's probably couldn't have been talking
that much all day. Probably like half a day because I've been on Roblox but your not suppose to hear about that. Ops.
okay guys so we have our plaited garlic here we can take some string and it's
literally just a case of tying this this garlic up now so what I'm going to do it
and it takes take some string tie a nice and tight around. Daddy. Yes love, Youtubers
might want to comment something, how about you ask them what do you want to comment
like maybe you can comment have you Done this before? or if you if you have muddled it up before?
Yeah, So what Caitlyn is trying to say guys, in the comments
box below put their little chat whether or not you've actually done this before
whether or not to find it easy or hard and, or you mess it up yet lots of
different things to do but what we find is that by doing this with a garlic
we're able to hang it up I'm just going to trim the back off now because we
don't need this section anymore so any loose bits that you don't need just trim
off just to tidy it up. yeah, we will have to tidy it up again won't we. let's get a bit closer
to the screen so the guys can see and there you go guys there is your plaited garlic
okay we've got a little hanger on the back so that we can hang up our plaited
garlic and it's good to do it in bunches of 10 like this because it allows the
air to get around it and a keep this garlic nice and fresh. Now one tip I
will give you hang on a second love. One tip I will give you try and make
sure that all the cloves are the same size if they not the same size work from
the largest to the smallest okay, and that way of keeping your plait nice and
tight so when you hang it up it's not going to do anything
keep this, the light isn't an issue okay, but you need to keep it in a frost-free
place somewhere that's got a bit of air flow so in a shed is a ideal but make sure it
stays up to the damp but that's how to plait your garlic guys and we'll get on
with the rest of these now when we get them hung up in the shed what is it you wanted to
say babe? Again you can always go and check out me and Wayne's channel.
