I am in the U.S. and I leave my garlic in the ground if I dont need to
harvest it for my use or for replanting. I have seen a garlic bed
that is
nearly 20 years old, and they man that has it only harvests what he
wants to
use or sell or give away.

We both harvest it after it has sent up the seed pods and about 1/3 of
the
plant has died back. We cut off the seed pods when they are very
young, dut
them up and put them in soup or stew.

Also, want to know how do you use small garlic seeds on top of the
plant?

They're not seeds but bulblets or bulbils. They can be planted and
will form one 'clove' the first year and a normal bulb the second.

What is "dut" term used in America?

Typo for 'dug'.
