Local information is always the best. That said, I would curtail any feeding by mid-May at the latest. Like onions, the size of garlic heads is determined by the above ground growth. Once bulbing begins, this has already been determined, so as I said above, additional feeding will delay bulbing.

Have you looked at wegrowgarlic.com. Karen and Mike are in Wisconsin, so you might find good local information there.
