Planting Garlic in Rose Bed

10 years ago

Hi,

I've rose beds in the front yard that receive full sun and am looking to plant garlic there for two reasons:

1. I'd like to eat home grown garlic :)

2. I've heard it helps with the pests of roses and its fungal diseases too.


BUT, i've sprayed these rose plants with fungicides in the past few months (less than 10 times though). Now, I'm doubtful if i can grow edible garlic in that bed even if i don't use fungicides going forward - What do you think? How long would the fungicide stay in the soil - would replacing the top 2-3 inches of soil help?

Also, wouldn't the rose root get affected when we harvest the garlic?

Any advice on how far apart i should place the garlic from the rose base is also appreciated. Thanks ahead!
