Does anyone use plastic mulch for garlic? I have used straw in the past,
pulling it off in March and then cultivating several times. I thought about
planting on 6 inch to 8 inch squares on a 24 inch wide raised bed covered
with black plastic. Will I have a problem with heaving? Last November it
was very dry when we planted and that was the only time I have ever irrigated
garlic. Is there a problem with water (t-tape) under the plastic with
garlic? Thanks for your advice and experiences.
