Carla; what sort of problems do you have with garlic? I've planted a lot of
hard-neck varieites. I grow it in raised beds; having the plants in too-wet
soil is one of the few ways to kill it. I try to keep it weeded (but the
best laid plans...), and I fertize it every 2-3 weeks with a spray of kelp
or fish emulsion or manure tea. I plant in fall and don't always mulch it,
and it does fine.
