    A 25 by 4 foot area was selected for garlic for the 2019/2019 season. The ground was rototilled last week and is now covered with about 2 to 3 inches of wood chip mulch. This is for some Winter weather protection and to help in retaining moisture during the growing season. Garlic in Zone 5 is planted in the Fall.

    The garlic bed was planted using the three years cycle; or bulbils, rounds and the final bulb.
    The routine is first year plant bulbils, second plant the rounds produced from the above bulbils, third years the bulbs produced are often the same size as the conventional method. Anyway plant these for the main crop
