    Hi guys, yet another question. When planting garlic, I know I need to break a bulb into individual 'cloves', but once done, do I need to peel or soak the individual cloves before planting? What is best?

    For those of you that kindly contributed to my 'baby bath pond' post, I will update when things are underway. Ive not forgotten. Dave

    Hi Dave, no, once the bulb is broken into cloves just plant them. Don't soak or peel.
