I love garlic. We also have a TON of wild garlic in our lawn. Maybe if I smear it on...
Garlic soup every day of the summer!
I have a braid of Estonian Garlic in the cool of the garage. I have about 25 garlic bulbs planted in the garden! (Right next to my multiplier onions!)
I do not think the city would take well to me burning off my zoysia lawn in the spring. Maybe I should spray it down with neem and eucalyptus oil instead and see it disuades the chiggers. (It could be oak gall mites, which fall on your shoulders and neck!)
