So I suppose in this method you are hoping that they come through those small holes?  Curious about what their accuracy rate turns out to be!

I expect their accuracy rate turns out to be close to 100%. Here is the system I developed:

1. Inexpensive weed control landscape fabric, which allows watering but blocks weeds.

2. "A" is a 1 1/2" metal tube. The tube is heated up using a blow torch. It can cut holes thru the fabric easily and quickly.

3. "B" is another 1 1/2" tube used to core and remove soil thru the same holes, leaving a precise hole in the soil at a depth good for garlic.

4. "C" is a plunger to push the soil inside tube "B" to cover the garlic clove inside the hole.

5. "D" is a ruler to make sure proper social distancing between cloves are maintained. :-)

Everything is reusable. Same system is used for growing a few other seedlings, if weed control is needed.
