   am working on it. a lot of this is common sense once you know what to   
   look for. you simply don't know what you don't know. lol.   
      
   based on your advice i'm going to use the garlic i grew for seed   
   garlic in the fall. even after using the largest bulbs there will still   
   be plenty left to go through life for the next year smelling like   
   garlic. :D the point you made about acclimation and the possibility of   
   bringing in disease is right on target. no internet needed to make   
   that decision, just some braining required. plus, the money saved from not   
   purchasing more seed garlic will buy several very thorough soil tests.   
   will take approx a month to get the tests and recommendations back, will   
   be sending it out early next week. will post results here.   
      
   excelsior.
