Thanks for passing on this information. Another advantage with a straw mulch is the addition of organic matter to the soil. But any mulch is better than no mulch. The planet hates bare soil; weeds-pioneer species- are the bandage applied to the wound. Shawnee, zone 5, this week From: mlynn AT pcisys.net To: market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:31:13 -0600 Subject: Re: [Market-farming] planting garlic I’m thinking about increasing our garlic (and onion) plantings and just ran across this study on winter mulch and irrigation methods last week in my research: http://www.specialtycrops.colostate.edu/scp_exp_demo/garlic_2003_wntr_mulch.htm A couple key points: As long as the garlic is adequately watered, any of the mulches tried were better than bare soil. Regardless of irrigation treatment, bare ground (no mulch) produced the fewest large bulbs and the most small bulbs. This difference was statistically significant for all irrigation treatments.
