I too did plant garlic and onion sets this weekend.
I would like to know your opinion on how i did it.
Having a patch which has not been digged for over 8 years where currant bushes have been. I dug them out trying to not to disturb the groung too much.
Then i put some cardboard over the soil, in there i punched holes and filed them with a little potting soil.
In there i places the garlic cloves and onjon sets.
Then i put a little potting soil over it.
As a finish i put a thick layer of half rotted compost.
I think everything will be ok, but my concern is, als the half rotted compost will keep decomposing over winter, will it affect the garlic and onions to decompose also?
Thanks.
