We took one of our old garden boxes and re purposed it into a garlic bed: Here is what we did and how. http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2015/08/2015-fallwinter-garden-experiment.html Here is hoping for a smelly spring harvest.
We watered every thing last night good right before dark and now there are several little garlic greens peeking from the soil. Sadly several weeds are too. An advantage to using a planting grid is ya know where the garlic is and any thing growing by the string is weeds to far its worked and I aint pulled no garlic up..............yet
