Steady ! Ready to go 😀 Garlic bed 🧄 prepared ✅ Saved Iberian garlic bulbs brought to site ✅ Planting them on the weekend 👍 #Allotment #Today #GrowYourOwn #Gardening

@hicksy2 From our experience the opposite is true. We have used the membrane like this for almost ten years to control/limit the weeding during the growing season. Because the raised beds are above ground level and we plant the garlic roughly 4 inches down then the vernalization works well. We have temperatures well below zero for enough weeks to split the bulbs successfully. However, if we planted garlic in the spring then the outcome could be different 😎

Here we go again ☺️ All the wild rocket now outside and ready for spring and since some are for the girls they’re watching closely #Allotment #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #Today #Chickens
