Before planting, one must prepare the garden area. In a newly established garden, as is the case for many gardeners moving to a new homestead, the planning process can be challenging due to existing plants and seasonal changes. The first step is to clean up the chosen space for garlic. This preparation phase also includes the addition of compost to enrich the soil. Though having compost readily available is ideal, sometimes gardeners have to find alternative sources, such as local farms that offer composted cow manure.
