As a rule, garlic - the most common for the cultivation of vegetable crops, as it is actively used in cooking. I think that each family head of garlic kept "in reserve", and because it can be put in the soup, and stew a couple of cloves of throw, and bacon in prikusku he "goes with a bang."
And, of course, everyone would like to harvest garlic lived up to expectations, but, like all other plants, garlic for this purpose should be to provide adequate care.
In this article I will talk about, how to grow garlic and to share their own observations of the process - this year already garlic makes me happy large and abundant harvest.
The first thing I would like to draw your attention to the very ground - she It should be loose. This can be achieved in a simple manner - in the process of landing of garlic into each groove sprinkle a little sand, and then carefully zamulchirovat planting. Another option - daily loosening the soil, but in this case it is necessary to be very careful not to damage the roots of plants.
Next, let's talk about watering. We can say that Garlic - water-loving plantBut this is only the initial stage of its growth. Over time, the amount of moisture must be reduced in order not to make excessive watering watery teeth. It will be enough one watering per week for young plantations, and a month before the harvest and they did need to stop.
nitrogen fertilizers - it is good, but all should be in moderation. Go to far with such dressings should not be, because they can cause a deterioration of the shelf life of garlic. As for me, once in the spring will be enough.
Do not forget the ashes. If you've never used it on the garlic beds, after the application, you will see the difference immediately. Sprinkle ashes between the rows, and garlic bulbs themselves.
And, of course, arrowOr rather, the timely deliverance from them. As soon as they appear, do not forget to pick them.
That these rules I adhere to in the process of growing garlic - a plant to grow comfortable in such an environment, as evidenced by the excellent harvest - garlic heads barely fit in my hand!
