Preparing the garlic bed

Last weekend, we picked the suckers of a bed of strawberries and moved them to the old garlic bed.  It is recommended that the strawberry bed is moved to a different location every 3 years.  After removing the old strawberry plants from their original bed, we sowed rye seeds and plan to till them in the soil prior to planting the garlic there. I suggest that when you sow rye seeds you cover them with straw.
