garlic and multiplir onion planted

hi everyone ,
well apparently what i planted was soft neck garlic,,,multiplier onion and hard neck garlic in that order down the row. i hope i did it right approx 6 in down.Ive been doing alot of reading and read about covering the garlic for the winter with mulch or hay. I covered it with salt hay form the marsh, i am trying to be thrifty so i hope it will be ok i also did that with the multiplier onion, the other thing i did was sprinkle some bone meal around the onion, ive never seen bone meal or used it so we will see what happens....i talked to a neighbor who said she never has sone that but everyone is different, well for me im just doing what i read. i welcome any suggestion

the first hurdle

this is the first year that i will be gardening at a community garden. i am a little nervous , theres so much info and lots to learn but im willing to try it...i have been doing container garden at my apt and theres jst no room. so i got this space 30x30 the other day its $25 for the year and heres the bolder we dug up its no problem as of the moment due to the season is over for gardening, except for thegarlic that i am waiting to receive rom southernseedexchange.com we will see how good it is,,,,i never grew garlic either. so i hope you will all go along with me on this journey..as far as the boulder our neighbor across the street from us who is on the gardening commity board of directors is gonna help us pull it out with a chain,,,,keep ya updated
