tracydr, pm me your address and I will send you a large bulb... this year I planted a 30ft row. starting in sep I dug it out about 12in deep, put in about a gallon volume of alfalfa pellets, about a cup of blood meal, about a cup of fish bone meal then covered with about 6in of composted horse manure.. then put the garden soil over all this so that there was about a 4 or 5 inch mound that I planted the cloves in about the middle of oct .. it was about a foot tall during the winter and I irrigated rarely.. early this spring I drenched it with a cup of liquid kelp, a cup of liquid fish, a cup of black jack molasses and a couple cups of the black liquid from my worm bin mixed in a 2 gallon water bucket to get it going in early march. this is the most fertilizer that I have ever used with garlic and it responded very well producing the largest bulbs ever for me with this variety.
