Does anyone know of or have plans for a homemade garlic planting implement? I have increased my garlic planting plans for next year and hand planting would be really tough.

In the same boat. I have seen on Pinterest guys take an old lawn roller and weld for lack of a better word "plugs" like every 6 inches or so and they roll them around. I don't know if there is water or weight in them I think it would need it.

A few years ago I made a hand-held multi-dibble which made holes for six cloves at a time. Since I only plant a couple of hundred cloves now, I just do it all by hand, one at a time. I'm expecting to harvest this weekend.

For a large plot, a mechanical planter would be nifty, eg, Garlic Planters

Garlic is one of my favorite herbs I even eat crushed when I have a cold.
