Hi Songbird,
I do not know if you recall telling that my garlic bed had too much organic matter and that I need to remove a bunch of it and substitute top soil as the correction to my micro garlic problem
Well, I got a couple of organic local top soil bags for Home depot and removed a bunch of the bed's filling. Then filled with the dirt. I planted garlic bulbs from my local supermarket.
I now have a bunch of healthy plants that are three times the diameter and twice the height of my last years crop.
You called it. Thank you!
