RE: It's Garlic Harvest Time in the Food Forest!
beautiful garlic - one of my favourite crops to grow. I really love the hoop you have on the beds - I've had wooden frames on ours which is not very convenient - I just took it all down this year to start anew but I've been cutting sticks and using them for my netting and it isn't the best.
I was doing the wood and stick thing a few years back, but just when I thought it was good enough, the wood would start to deteriorate. Then I had to start all over again. I love the way wooden frames look. They look more natural, but they don't last forever and I seem to be getting lazier and lazier as I get older. PVC does not look as cool, but I don't have to think about replacing them every few years, so it's good enough in my book :-)
That's what I was thinking. Every year I spend ages messing around trying to fix or replace them as they rot out so quickly here. I don't have quite the zest for it myself, totally less keen on repeating jobs over and over as I get older.
