Yellowing can come from too much water on the roots too long causing root rot. It can also come from insufficient fertilizer. Root rot can be avoided by planting the garlic on a mound or row higher than the surrounding soil for good drainage. Raised beds planting provides good drainage. Ensure the soil has lots of aggregates like perlite and bark chips (orchid bark) to help drainage and aeration. Fertilize regularly per instructions.
