I saw something online about soaking cloves in water first, then soaking in rubbing alcohol for 5 minutes before planting. Have you done this? -- nm - kelly Mar 17, 12:12 2
- Never. We buy organic garlic, or use our own, break it into cloves, plant it. -- nm - Andie Mar 17, 13:24
- Afaik, the disinfectant is to prevent some virus, use bulb that has the root end, Chinese garlic has an indented root end to remove it -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 17, 12:19
From my old notes...plant garlic in the same place, established beds grow better garlic, also symbiotic with roses, ik'r - zeitgeist Mar 17, 12:08 1
- We consulted a companion planting guide like that too when we planted our raise beds -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 17, 12:27
