Thanks Bob and Dave for the replies, so the garlic will
go in next week and I will try the paraffin treatment, even if
it doesn't work it won't do any harm.
BTW, does that still apply for broad beans as well as peas ??

Sheeessh have you seen the price of paraffin ? the last lot
I bought was one and ninepence a gallon, time to shop
around methinks.
