Growing Garlic

Hi Al - Good companion plants for potatoes include horseradish, or comfrey planted between then slashed as mulch (its deep roots bring potassium up into its leaves - as a mulch the potassium is then released into soil for the potato) Also peas/beans used in same way. Haven't heard of garlic with potato. I do scatter chopped up garlic amongst lettuce seedlings as a temporary deterrent against slugs.
