It surprises me a little that you plant the garlic in spring. In my experience, I plant it in the ground in late autumn. And not without good neighbours, if possible. These would be strawberries, carrots or beetroot. These ensure that the garlic is not attacked by the onion fly (Delia antiqua).
A great machine, by the way. All you need to know is where to find one of these things.😉

No we are not planting yet, just prepping the fields.. Will be planting it late summer/early autumn.
Oh interesting, will need to keep that in mind.
Yeah luckily equipment rental companies are an option around here.
In the autumn seems absolutely fine to me. And you shouldn't think twice when the first green stalks peek out of the ground in November. The garlic is absolutely suitable for winter. If you decide to plant strawberries (preferably month strawberries, which produce fruit all year round) as neighbours, you should plant these little plants in August. Carrot seeds or spinach go into the ground together with the garlic in autumn.
