Thanks so much! As we harvest our garlic, in some of the production beds we repeated a very successful experiment from a few years ago which worked again this year beautifully. Very simple pattern... Co-planting seeds for trees, especially nut tree seeds, with garlic at the same time in the fall, at the standard planting time for garlic, works wonders. The seeds are protected all winter from burrowing creatures, the garlic emerges first, making a 'wall' of garlic that protects the emerging seedling, and then as the garlic is harvested, a light release is created that allows the seedling tree to take canopy for the remainder of year one. No silver bullet or promises here, but a basic pattern language approach that can be adapted to similar analogs of plants and situations... We followed up the garlic harvest with black beans and an edging of transplants of winter squash to send outward into the weedy areas surrounding this bed. But many options are available!
