How to secure a little garlic? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
clove hitch
'how to secure a little' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'garlic?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'garlic?' could be 'clove' (clove is a kind of garlic) and 'clove' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hitch' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clove hitch that I've seen before include "Type of 28 [KNOT]" , "Result of interlacing" , "link?" , "Knot for fastening a line temporarily to a post" , "It might secure" .)
