Common Burden
A Call Back to the Garden
Planting Garlic and Onions"The vegetable guru Eliot Coleman advises that garlic should not be planted where any member from the cabbage family was growing; apparently this can inhibit the garlic’s growth up to 60 percent. Other sources tell you not to plant garlic in the same location where any member of the onion family had been growing."For us, this is touch because our garden is so small. But, Elliott Coleman knows what he is talking about. With this in mind, it seems like our strategy of planting in between Kale crops is not a good one.
