You do not have to destroy any garrison on the planet in order to blockade it. You just have to survive whatever the planet throws at you. The easiest way to do this is to go edit your strategies: Instead of switching your ship to "do not get hurt", just go edit the strategy for the ship so that it will not attack Planets, Satellites and Bases...That will send it into the corner and out of harm's way unless there are enemy ships or fighters.
This works quite nicely as Docshane discovered...until he got a ship built. Then my ship went into planet-WP range to attack his ship. The result was not pretty for my poor little blockader

You still have to destroy whatever garrison the planet has.
You can set the strategy by going into ship designs, click the stats strategy tab and set the default strategy to don't get hurt.
