~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

>Thanks for your perspective. I watered the garlic once after planting but not since then. However, there was a lot of rain last weekend.

I will not pile up the salt marsh hay to avoid the water retention that you indicated. Straw is wider in structure and seems to retain more moisture and mats together, so I will avoid using it for the winter.

Thanks,

Eddie
