 @12e2f193 @e0b309a7 Very good point about introducing disease. I would probably avoid the bleach, but alcohol will evaporate off so won't  have an effect  on the soil biology that I've been nurturing.

 @24035ade @e0b309a7 the bleach really didn’t hurt! Every single clove I planted came up. If you go trawling around the rest of the site, there’s an explanation of what it’s killing (mites? I think?) and more info.

 @12e2f193 Generally it's for nematodes, says my local garlic guy.

 @24035ade Some of my home grown garlic (in one bed) had allium leaf miner in it  this year. So I'd check every single clove for signs of that before planting.
