Alice, you can do that. Or make garlic pepper tea for repelling various bugs on plants. The difference between sprinkling the dried garlic and the mess of spraying liquefied garlic is up to each gardener. You yourself will smell like garlic for a while after you handle that much (I learned that the hard way). Pulverizing garlic is messy and when you get around that much it's really "hot" (spicy).

I meant to mention earlier--that today I cleared out an enclosed little yard beside the garage. It had all sorts of gardening things stored in there--including the proverbial kitchen sink! I have a Harvest Gold sink that came of this house when I moved in, it's stored on a dolly to keep it off of the ground and easy to move around. I'm planning to build myself a potting bench one of these years and put that sink in it, built so I can put boards over the top for flat workspace, or to have the sinks and fit drains in so I can mix potting soil or drop trimmings or whatever and when I'm finished, push it through the drain into a bucket. It'll have wheels for moving around, and I'll work in a few hooks or a couple of shelves to make it as versatile as possible. A neighbor had one he built with cedar furring strips that I could duplicate and it would look great.
