Market Farming

I actually am interested in your using leaves as they are plentiful for me. I know most of the market farmers that grow garlic here use straw, but it is $$ and the leaves are already here. Do you have good luck with the leaves and how much do you put on?

My garlic is all mulched with bagged leaves, but I wonder how others do this, especially those of you who grow a hundred feet or more of row. And do large-scale commercial garlic farmers mulch, or do they grow where the ground never freezes?

Richard, curious in the zone 5/6 rural suburbs of Boston
