garlic watering?

Hi All,



I go my garlic bed cleared out and replaced with organic local top soil. And I got my garlic in. I watered them in but good.



Question: How often should I be watering them through the winter with this cold weather?

it depends upon how much rains/snows you get and if it gets dry otherwise. pretty much just don't let it dry out completely, but that should be a challenge if it is planted deeply enough and the soil holds some moisture. you don't want it to rot and you don't want it to go bone dry down deep enough that the roots die off and they have to regrow for spring.

if you watered them in that might be enough until spring - it just depends upon what you get for rains and snow cover.

I shuck them in about two to three inches. The new top soil seems to stay moist.

Okay, and I must resist fertilizing them too?
