Reply To: How late can you leave planting Broad Beans and Garlic?

Hi Charles,

I’m also about to plant my Garlic crop this week.
I was wondering, as it is the first time I will be planting this crop using the no dig method, do I need to factor in the layer of compost into the depth I plant at, i.e., I plan to plant the cloves at 5cm and then add 2.5-5cm of well rotted compost on top. Would that leave the cloves too deep, initially at least?

Don.
