The problem we had was all the garden space was already designated for different vegetables next year, except where the potato barrel was. So we decided to use the tires that were already there and fill them up with dirt that was in a pile next to the tires. I bought some New Hampshire native hard neck garlic from a local produce market and broke them up, and planted them in the dirt. We then shoveled about two inches thick of dirt on top of them. We were able to get seven cloves in each tire. After a couple of weeks or so, we'll put straw over the tires to insulate them for the winter. Of course Mr. T helped me out with the shoveling of the dirt.
I can't wait to see if this works for you! I wish you many heads of delicious garlic. :)
