elephant garlic

Hi

I'm relatively new to this forum but have been reading most of the postings, including searching for more info on elephant garlic. I had bought a head of it in the fall, planted it and just harvested it the other day, have to say I'm happy with the way it turned out, but my question is :can garlic be planted in the same area it grew in previously or does it need to be rotated as with other crops? The area I planted it in (small raised bed) had held carrots the year before, I pulled the carrots in the fall, dug in some compost then planted the garlic bulbs, left them over winter, mulched with oak leaves and waited patiently to see them die down, pulled them and was thrilled with the harvest. Thanks in advance for all answers.
