To Scape or Not To Scape
So, i have done the obligatory research on planting garlic. I have surfed through the old threads here. Trying to decide if I will take the scapes off my hardnecks.
What is the current opinion of whether leaving them on affects size?
Now that folks here have maybe tried (some posts go back a couple years with mentions of leaving scapes on to see what happens), what were your results?
I don't care about the culinary or bulbil planting value. Just looking to reduce labor if I step up to significant size production down the road. I have a buyer who wants me to grow garlic and would love to get to a 1/2 acre or more in a few years.
