Reader Dave just kicked it up notch! (see comments)

Highly fertile soil, organic matter, water etc., etc. you heard it all before, but it goes double for garlic. No weeds at all: none,nada, zip, zilch. The big secret is to plant in the fall and mulch in Dec.

key idea: plant garlic in the fall, mulch in December
Well, all we need to do now is actually plant some garlic …
My wife’s the gardener, not me whatsoever (ok, so I’ll rota-till for her), and she only does a few things such as the mint growing next to the garage door (there’s a pic on the page I’m building at http://frogleg.mvps.org/mi_cuisine/natural_flavors/index.html). Meanwhile, though, it seems as though our two blogs here are going to get along quite well.

Thanks. I visited your web site, there’s a lot of stuff on there that you can’t find in any one place except there as far as I can see. I plan on checking it out often. Very cool blog too.
