Garlic planting in big bed August 24/14

Stony bed close to bush- was left fallow for this year, kept weeds out
Hand dug 48" row- along furthest edge.
added wheelbarrow and half of compost from the big bins-mini rototilled

Planted medium cloves 40 rows of 7 each - smallest cloves toward the easy
photo shows enough cloves for 42 rows- so last 2 rows were unused.

Fertilized and weed prevented
