Judging by some people's appetite for garlic, you would need a regiment of pots?

I'm trying raised beds next year. = Tim

I grew garlic for the first time this year. I grew the cloves of one bulb in the ground and the other in a big pot. The majority of the ones in the ground grew to decent sized bulbs. In the pot I got a few biggies, but mostly they were a fair bit smaller. But if it's the only way for you to beat the rot, I'd say give it a go.
