I don't leave the mulch on. You put a lot of mulch on in late fall to insulate the ground over the winter. Come early March, you want to remove the mulch to let the sun hit the soil and garlic.
Some mulch is recommended for weed control, but six inches of leaves sounds like a LOT for the garlic to have to squeeze up thru.
