Answer 1

You should only water once the soil is very dry down to about 3 inches or so. Garlic will not appreciate soils that stay moist, consistently. Make sure that all extra water is allowed to leave the container, freely, and that it never sits in standing water.

Here is an article that will help you to grow them in container:
