garlic likes sandy, well drained soil. If your soil is heavy and clay, ten yes, you can overwater it.
Just stick the individual cloves in the groung, about 2-4 inches downm tip up, in the fall or early spring, and harvest when the strappy leaves die back halfway, dig them up, and you'll have a whole bulb where each clove was.

I'm an organic farmer. Garlic is a bulb with segments of cloves.I planted it in the fall and will come up and the spring for harvesting.It is a heavy feeder. plenty of organic matter must be put in the soil. Will need water in the beginning but cut back when maturing. Planted 6 inches apart. 2 feet across. 6- 8 hours of sun daily.

Yes, garlic is a bulb that grows underground. Be careful not to over-water and cause bulb rot.

Garlic is a bulb and part of the allium family, which includes onions and scallions. There are also a number of ornamental alliums out there. An undergrown onion is a "green onion" and requires well drained soil and over watering will make them rot and prone to fungus and bacteria infections which once they get into the soil are difficult to eliminate.

A garlic is a bulb, I am sure it would rot if it were watered too much.
