I invested in some garlic bulbs along with my last Burpee order. I left them on a shelf that gets light, so they've all started sprouting at once. Great if I had outdoor garden to put them in, not so great for squeezing them in to the AGs. I've got two Bounties, half a Farm Plus and a few others sharing with other crops for now. Only 2/3rds or so have sprouted. I'm assuming some won't make it, and as the rest sprout I can use them to replace what I've lost.
I'm trying a new medium with these- rockwool cubes. They aren't really cheaper than AG sponges, but they are lighter and theoretically reusable as they are actually made of rocks. They worked really nice for this as I could push the bottom of the cloves into the cube and it would hold its shape. Another bonus is that they are slightly bigger than the AG cages, so they do a better job of blocking the light than AG sponges.
