Does anyone use a mechanical planter that just drops seed cloves into a trench without regard to 'pointy end up'? Can anyone tell me if orientation of the clove is of concern except for really high end, perfect garlic? Some say that the bulb will be distorted if planted indiscriminately. At sorting time can those bulbs be simply put in the 'not quite gourmet' pile and be used for other grades?

Just looking at a garlic planter on ebay, probably made in China, but sold from the Ukraine.

Mike
