Hello Charles and all users.
First post on the forum but much advice gained from the forum.
Looking forward to havesting a large crop of garlic in the summer assuming all goes well.
One question I didn’t ask you Charles on the course back in November was how you harvest your garlic with minimum disturbance to the soil.
I usually use a fork to loosen the soil enough then pull.
Having spead 13 cubic meters of aged mushroom compost by hand I wish to use these beds after havest for other crops. Its doing a great job in supressing weeds with just the pesky couch grass trying to grow and lots of worms on what was a sandy dead field. I just dont wont to ruin the stucture that is being created and bring yet more weeds up.
What would people suggest.
Thanks, Matthew
