Leigh - Last year was the first year that we put drip under the mulch. The drip was supposed to be turned off unless needed, but, apparently, a zealous intern saw the drip closed off and turned it on, so, during a dry spell in in July, the garlic, under 6inches of mulch, wound up getting an inch of water every time the lettuce needed an inch. We are on clay and, frankly, I should subsoil, but haven't. Anyway, I had a bunch of bulbs in the middle of our bed turn yellow and the roots pulled off in the soil when I pulled the bulbs. I didn't suspect maggots, I suspected too much water.
What I hope you do is make time to study the lifecycle of the maggots that are affecting garlic and then determine how to disrupt that cycle so they can be pests. And then, of course, share that information with us here.
I hope that I don't get root maggots this year. I've just got to have all the garlic I'm planting! -Allan
