Is it necessary to remove the husks from the separated
cloves? Or advisable?


We just planted them with the husk on. Nub down if that
matters.


why nub down? the roots come from the flat end & the pointy end is
the leaves. they will grow if you plant them upside down, but it
takes longer to get reoriented & growing.


Guess the flat end is what I call a nub. Most likely poor choice of
word.
