Definitely 8 inches here and 4 inches for the elephant garlic. No added nutrients yet, and yes, I am bragging !

Mine are just coming through, but they weren't planted till December.

We have 5 varieties of garlic , onions & shallots in since October, and look to be doing well - see my blog. However, we have been warned about white rot on the plots so wait for disaster  :'(. We planted half in pots to make sure we didn't lose the lot.

How about the nutrients and less of the bragging? Ooh you are naughty! >:(

Well very soon, I hope to be adding some BF&B, bonfire ash, and in a selected area, coffee grounds, as an experiment.

And I am expecting a bumper harvest !

Seriously impressed! ;D

Mine are going in tomorrow as have just moved plots, will give the ground plenty of Soot as it is also going to accomodate the Leeks, and Onions which I generally dress with Soot and they seem to do well, I think it has lots of potash in it.

:'( :'( :'(
Not a single sprout, not a hint of life. my raised bed which I placed 4 lines is like a grayish desert.
Rommel would love to drive his tanks through it, know what I mean.
the carrot and parsnip bed, lovingly sieved and raked.  prepared with thought, was filled with 3 lines spaced out. 
inter cropping to keep the bugs away. Nothing!  I say Nothing!!
Last week I could have swore it was spring, It was that dry I watered them a little.
There is more chance of discovery Life on Mars than in my Garlic rows.
I say,  >:( Don't sit there and read this and laugh,  >:( yes you, stop laughing.
It is  not funny :'(
still me Broadies and cabbages are flying :P
I want my Garlic TO GROW
I LOVE Garlic, but Garlic it seems has falling out of love with me.

Definately all garlic Tim but its the ones at the back are elephant garlic hence the difference in size--apparently grows about 5 feet tall and bulbs like footballs!!! apparently!!

tim

SO right - one clove is 1/2 the size of a tesco bulb!!
