Garlic MMM MMM yummy

So I planted the garlic today. I tried a new planting method that I hope will work. I dug a ditch and filled it like I explained previously, then covered the mound on top with unfolded sheets of newspaper. I did place a soaker hose along the top of the mound under the paper for watering. I'll explain that in another post.

After the paper was down I poked holes in it. six per sheet. Three on each side of the soaker hose evenly spaced. I jammed the garlic starts in these holes and pressed dirt around the clove/roots.  After all that I put a thin layer of dirt over the news paper. My hope is nothing but the garlic will get enough lite to grow.

This method should work with onions starts too, maybe even corn if you like to start corn indoors. It might work with anything that can be transplanted. Tomatoes? Peppers?
