Most of the Ozarks region of Missouri is an uplifted ocean bottom, with layers of limestone and mudstones with very little soil. Most of our area escaped glaciation, so the only soil to be had is scooped up from river bottoms and trucked in. This is what we’re using in raised bed gardens.
I have a good produce store near me which stocks California garlic. I will NOT buy food from China.
I don’t care for “elephant garlic”. I can’t put my finger on why exactly but I have two friends who are chefs and they do what they can to avoid their garlic.
Same with Mexican avocados. They are too watery.
