Betsy Hilborn asked, "How do you plant garlic bulbs? Are they just like onion bulbs where they are just pushed into the top layer of the soil or are they planted deeper than that?"


Here in North Central Minnesota, I dig a hole 6" deep for mine. Then I cover the soil with 2 to 4 inches of pine needles and I have never had any winterkill.
