Yup this was a "new" bed that I built over an old bed that had become a weedy area (grass too). I wasn't aware that wireworms are found at different levels depending on the time of year and soil temperature. Haven't seen any for years so they weren't in my mind at all. And this is only my fifth year growing garlic, so I'm still in the "meet the pests" mode.
The porcelain will be next to come out in a couple of days - 3 weeks from scape harvest is this weekend - so it's a bit late to use traps at this point... hopefully they fared better, if not, I guess I'll be making lots of garlic powder from the damaged bulbs. I hope the damaged cloves don't rot and spoil the others during the cure process.
Or maybe I should just cut them up immediately and put in the dehydrator.
I'll certainly trap out the bed before I plant anything else there.
