Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Quick Overview. The definition of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which a blood clot is embedded in one of the major deep veins of the lower legs, thighs, pelvis, or arm. A clot blocks blood circulation through these veins, which carry blood from the lower body back to the heart.
Purchase bulbs from mail order suppliers, garden center, or other local source. Break bulbs apart at planting time, keeping papery husks on the individual cloves. Plant with tips up, 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart in rows 15 to 24 inches apart. Plant elephant garlic varieties about 3 inches deep and 8 to 12 inches apart. Mulch heavily after planting to prevent soil heaving - particularly with less-hardy elephant garlic varieties.
The optimum soil pH for garlic is between 6 and 7. Liming is recommended if the pH is less than 5.8. Rates to apply should be based on soil test recommendations (see Understanding Your Soil Test Report). Prior to planting, soils should be well tilled to provide a loose growing bed for bulb growth.
