The planting template assembled and stamping the planting pattern

onto the soil.

 

And they are off - fast and furious garlic planting

.

The afternoon crew finished off the planting.

 

The completed garlic planting.

 

And the math - 

We ended up with 3 drifts of 5 rows each.

Each row is approx 115 feet long at an 8 inch spacing.

172 per row x 15 rows  -  2580 plants.

 

Approx 750 to 800 hardneck and the rest are softneck.

 

Is that enough garlic for the EOGG garden?

 

Very good work  -  thank you everyone!!
