Mine lives but doesn't thrive. But I have to ask... does it help with voles? 'cause THOSE are thriving' -Ais.

I grow it and I still have voles so I doubt it helps. It isn't a true garlic just a garlic relative in the lily family. The only thing that really helps deter voles is snakes.

Hey John, my cat Zip is doing his part, along with those snakes!! We have carcasses ALL OVER THE PLACE! Hee, hee! And I think the voles may avoid the garlic, or chives, or any allium type thing, but will happily munch whatever is right next to it. Sorry, Sandie!! -amy
