Zone 6. My first attempt at growing garlic was last year here in So. Indiana. I planted the garlic late and with the terrible drought it sprouted but with the 100 + degree heat even with watering as suspected it just wilted away. Yet I was in the garden and noticed it is sprouted again 3/23/13. It was well composted and still is ( mulched 3 in.) I've read garlic is a heavy feeder of nitrogen. I hear that fish emulsion would be good yet here I know the racoons would be attracted and would just dig them up. I have rabbit manure. Should I just put some on top or scrape the mulch back ,apply it and then replace the mulch. Any suggestions appreciated. THX
