i planted mine about 3 weeks ago in a bed that had been manured last october
and have planted the same depth as last year and got a good tasty crop.. however i've just noticed that the ground has settled after last nights rain and about a 1/3 to 1/2 inch on some of  the cloves is showing    will this be a problem or should i cover them up with more soil
but they have germinated beautifully
many thanks for the forthcoming answers

bury them!! I plant mine about 3" - 4" deep.
You couldn't make it up!

The Italians on our site, expert garlic growers, always leave their garlic cloves almost sitting on top of the soil when they plant in autumn. I personally wouldn't worry too much if the tops are showing.

You can find much more info on garlics, including recipes, history and health benefits at the link below. Thanks, John
