Watching a lot of gardening videos lately. This one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWqgRhVDK4g ) had 10 tips for bigger garlic bulbs. My garlic did kinda meh this year, so maybe this might help.
1) Spacing - 6" apart - mine might be a little closer, maybe 4.
2) Depth - 2" - Maybe a little deeper?
3) Rich soil, maybe compost - I feel like my soil is not too rich. I will try some compost, particularly around the cloves when I plant.
4) Fertilize - Low N fertilizer - I don't really fertilize!
5) Hardneck vs Softneck - Hardneck better for my climate
6) Don't plant small cloves - I do a good job on this one\
7) Weed - The diligence of my weeding, it, uh, varies.
8) Cut the scapes - CHECK!
9) Plant cloves right side up - CHECK!
10) Plant around Halloween - CHECK!
