1. Calculate the area of the garden using the formula for the area of a rectangle:
   $$
   \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 14 \times 11 = 154 \text{ ft}^2.
   $$

2. Determine the number of bags required by dividing the total area by the area covered by each bag:
   $$
   \text{Number of bags} = \frac{154}{22} = 7.
   $$

3. Since the result is a whole number, Carlos needs $$7$$ bags of fertilizer.
Carlos needs 7 bags of fertilizer to cover his garden.
