You could do the following:
> Work up the bed. For this quantity it may be easiest to use a
walk-behind rototiller
> Set a string line and cut a furrow using a Warren hoe or the side of
a onion hoe (just use something to cut a relatively narrow but several
inch deep furrow
> Set bulbs into furrow
> Use a rake or wide hoe to cover furrow
> Mulch heavily with straw
I've been doing it this way for the last few years and last year planted
~150lbs of garlic with this method.
