question on timing ...

And all that says exactly,.... what? There is a bunch of babble that gives no specific information at all.

I'll rep you for being persistent enough to locate that article, LOL, but it reads like a govt press release.

Lots of pretty ads though.

I'm not looking for an argument since we basically agree on this and it really doesn't matter as long as you use the stuff.

I'm not trying to argue either, I just want to determine what's correct (you'll figure that out about me eventually), regardless whether it's you or me, I want to grow better. I can't help the ad's, nor where I find the info. It was fairly vague in general, but at the same time it clearly says that they just need an energy source to grow, whether it comes from root secretions or carb's in the medium. That's what I was going for. I'll continue to try to pin down info on specific species and their propagation, but I thought you'd want to see it at least.

Wet,
Do you leave the containers outside in a hard freeze? I know these make it through the winter in the ground but I didn't know if it would get to cold in a container.
So one more container question. Have you ever tried to grow Jicama? It sounds as though it would be much like raising peanuts. I thought about trying a big container of these.
thanks,

Yes to the freeze, they need it. A LOT of garlic is grown in the very upper U.S. and in Canada. It doesn't do all that well with mild winters. I could never grow it in Fla.

Never tried the Jicama, or peanuts for that matter.

Wolv' that was actually a great read and a great find. I appreciate the extra digging.

No problem, it's generally a good magazine. Much more informative that AN's Rosebud.
