    You can definitely plant them in soil. Just plant the bulb in dirt, with only the sprout above soil. Keep the soil moist for the first week or so, and then water as you would any outdoor plant.

    Just moisten a clove, put it in a damp paper towel and place in warm location. You will see buds on it after 2 days.

    Yes, but you're better off starting it in a little cup of dirt until it grows roots. Then you can move it to a large pot or planter.
