Nope.  I have seen horse pastures grazed down to mud and the wild garlic 
still stands.  One year all my ornamental alliums disappeared.  I had left 
the leaves on the flower beds in the fall and the mice had winter snacks. 
So I don't mulch alliums at all anymore and I make sure the fall leaves are 
cleaned up around them.  No more disappearing alliums.
