Good ideas.
I plan on using the fabric over many seasons. I was planning on using new beds to rotate the garlic to a new spot to avoid diseases etc. I believe the recommended rotation is 4-5 years.
I really think I will be able to pull it over the plants and off the bed.
And then dig the bulbs from the sides of the row.
I thought about following the buckwheat with sudex. If you mow it when it is waist high, the root system will grow 4-6 feet down. But I already have tillage radish on hand (Eco-till cultivar) and want to see what kind of depth of taproot I can achieve by October.
