Has anyone ever tried growing garlic in your box-gardens? I note that garlic is supposed to go into the ground in mid-October here in the NE--apparently garlic doesn't mind some winter chill. Would this work with EBs, or would the soil freeze too much in zone 7b? And would garlic work at all?
Thanks!
Garlic in EBs or other self-contained box-gardens
I tried garlic in boxes but they never made.
Mitch, that's what I've been afraid of, from my reading about growing garlic. . . yet I don't see why it couldn't work in EBs. One thing I HAVE read is that garlic doesn't like moist soil. . . which may be a problem in a self-contained box garden. . . but I just don't know (hence my question.)
Right - I dont know, I tried half in EB and half in the rasied bed. The raised bed worked great and the EB grew but never formed..
