Did the new soil develop from compost? If so, I think I'd chance using it as it is (but then I haven't got good results from garlic for the last several years). I set garlic a week ago in a fairly big bin which hasn't had anything grown in it for a couple of years. It spent last winter with layers of soft green weeds on top, some brown material from old papers and covered with weedblock. I'm hoping that will ensure some good quality soil for the garlic.

You could use the old belt and braces idea of adding more good quality compost.

I reckon wiser heads than mine will be along with maybe better advice.
