I keep a good amount in a dry, cool, dark place and it will keep for a long time.
I also started to pickle it a few seasons ago and it did well.
This years harvest will be so much more garlic and I want to find other ways to preserve it.
Thanks for your reply. I do have a greenhouse and will try that as well.

Some varieties keep better than others.

Also, the garlic I grow is called Northern White garlic which has HUGE bulbs and cloves.

One clove of that is worth about 3 of regular sized garlic. It makes it less work to dehydrate you you are not peeling as many tiny little bulbs.

“This years harvest will be so much more garlic and I want to find other ways to preserve it.”

On years when I’ve grown too much garlic for general use, I roast the heads whole, then keep the paste in the freezer, frozen in individual ‘glops’ (Tbsp.) that are just enough to add to a stew, casserole or soup.

(Plenty of how-to videos on the web.)
