If you want to get rich harvest of garlic, it is necessary to properly care for this crop. To begin, select the planting material. I select the best garlic bulbs. They should not be nadgnivshimi, dried up, small and crooked teeth. These teeth do not exactly have the desired crop, most of the material dies or gives too small harvest. Select the damaged and do not necessarily large teeth of this culture.
Winter varieties of garlic planting in the fall
You need to properly calculate the time. Sow garlic for 3-4 weeks before the frost-resistant. Garlic has time to take root before the frost and went to sleep. I always choose a plot of garlic, which is always lit from all sides. Bulbs are opposed to excessive soil moisture, so it should not be planted in the lowlands and in areas where the groundwater flow.
This culture should be planted after potatoes, beans, cabbage, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, beets and eggplant. It is not necessary to plant garlic after the plants that belong to the family of onion.
Planted in beds of garlic at a distance from each other of 6-8 cm and 3-5 cm planting depth.
In regions with frost above -25 degrees, garlic planted in the autumn of hiding a layer of branches and leaves that protect the garlic from freezing. After the snow melts branches and leaves removed. Garlic greens in the spring breaks the very first. After emergence of the plants need fertilizing nitrate solution. It is necessary to weed and loosen the ground in order to provide additional oxygen garlic. Spring with a deficiency of moisture, requires watering. In June, when the garlic bulb shapes, it fed potassium and phosphorus. Watering is stopped before the harvest in 2-3 weeks. After the appearance of the shooter culture they need to be trimmed. Clean the garlic when the tops turn yellow and falls. The plant is dug up and left on beds, in order to allow them to dry in the sun or transferred under a canopy, which gives garlic to dry for 5-7 days.
