No, I never have. In fact never even heard to do this before?? Is that what you do? I would love to know the why to this? I have been growing garlic for about 10 years quite successfully by just planting in the ground as is.
This year I planted after frost. I would say most years I do plant after frost but no real reason other than that’s when I have the time. To be honest I have planted when the ground was close to frozen and my garlic still grew. I don’t recommend that but garlic is hardier than we give it credit for.
Have you ever tried 1 tbsp baking soda in 1 gallon water pre soak? Or a rinse in hydrogen peroxide? Before planting.

Do you plant before or after your first frost?

@@outgrowin I read about the baking soda soak fro Hickorycroft farm near Kingston, they plant 2000 plus
Oh very interesting. I’ve never hear that before. But I believe everyone has what works for them and that’s the beauty of gardening! So much to learn!
