I didn’t think anybody had worse soil that we have here in West Texas. Have you had the soil checked? Ours is a high alkaline soil.

No, and I am reluctant to do so; b/c my *garden* is a rental space in our town community garden [cg]. Heaven knows what kind of *stuff* has been put into the soil by previous occupants, over the years. Rules of the cg state that it must be kept *organic*, although, I see people putting all sorts of stuff out.

At this point, I'm content to buy garlic at farmers markets. I did drive by a place, in my backroad travels that had a sign *The Garlic Farm*; I'll check them out this spring. ;)

I did learn how to grow great corn at the cg; one year I tried this crazy idea I had; it was like container gardening in a shopping bag. One success from it, was to eliminate weeding. ;)

I didn't know I had this pic in my *garden album*; found on the *net* some time ago.
