A few observations from growing the same unknown variety for about 35 years. My seed goes into rich soils with years of manure, leaves, cover crops and wood chips added. Plant and forget - no water, no food, no soil disturbance.
Garlic needs to acclimate itself to its location. This could take years or never happen for some varieties. It is a very forgiving crop and will produce well even under adverse conditions.
I will pull 300-500 lbs a year depending on how much is planted. I tend to over simplify things but in the case of garlic it's just that.
