I've always left the mulch down, in place, for weed protection and moisture retention. Any allium HATES competition from weeds.

They are all spaced FAR to close together for my mulch to work. I have to overhead water them as well so I'm kinda SOL for having to weed this year. The needles may actually work as mulch so I will likely go haul some back in to spread around and see.
I space at 6" apart and get at least 4" deep of mulch between each one, then mulch with a solid leaf of hay in front and back. That way they can come up in the spring and the mulch keeps the weeds mostly gone.
