Garlic is planted in the food forest

The garlic is planted and munched with straw donated to the homestead by a generous permie bitcoiner from the southwest Michigan meetup. The garlic is planted in the row which the potatoes were harvested from earlier in this summer. I didn't have time to add any additional compost so this planting will be a good indicator of the strength of the soil in the food forest with out any additional inputs. All I have to do now (besides weeding a couple times) is wait until harvest next July.

I like this food forest idea.

Garlic following potatoes is such a natural feeling flow. I'm doing that in my garden as well.

I tried following the garlic with carrots last season but something wasn't right. Ended up with spindly stumpy carrots.

That's weird. You'd think the leftover allium-family residues might discourage carrot pests.

No problem with pests. I don't think the ground was loose enough.

Gotcha, that makes sense

Nice to have a known source of straw. Most straw can't be trusted to be free of herbicides and pesticides.
