Mom has a neighbor in the country who grows one garlic on a huge scale. When I came to her dacha, I was very surprised by this. Other vegetables have a minimum of space, and the rest is planted with garlic. As it turned out, it was the garlic that "made her rich" ...
Olga Ivanovna's daughter and son, thanks to their mother, have long been living in their own apartments (in a small district center). The woman boasted to my mother that she had bought a house for the children with the proceeds from the sale of garlic, and that she had rebuilt a small brick house for herself. She's in secret told my mom one trick that helps to grow a good harvest.
Olga Ivanovna plants garlic not only in her garden, but also in the garden of her mother and sister. From one hundred square meters, she receives up to 250 kg of garlic. It all depends on the harvest and weather conditions. If all is well, then during the season (from an area of more than 10 acres) she digs out about 3 tons of this amazing culture.
Olga Ivanovna plants only winter garlic, so it grows large. For planting, she chooses the same place (she does not do crop rotation). Of course, she fertilizes the garlic according to the rules.
There are two unbreakable rules for growing garlic:
1. Add sand to each hole before planting.
2. Plant heads only vertically and do not allow them to "fall".
She recognized this method as the best in years of trial and error.. Olga Ivanovna has tried different varieties of garlic and different planting methods, but this method is the best. She not only sells it in bulk to the market, but also sells it herself. My mother says that she always has a very large and beautiful garlic.
Where do you think she sells garlic in bulk? To a private meat-packing plant, which has been buying garlic from her in bulk for its production for many years. They give a good price (the quality of its goods is high) and they have had mutually beneficial cooperation for many years.
Garlic has always been expensive, and good garlic is even more expensive. Olga Ivanovna says that she also sells part of the products to the market. So much for the garlic... And she bought two small apartments for the children in 7 years, and she didn't cheat herself with a house...
My mom also thought about it. The most important thing is to grow good garlic and find places to wholesale it. It seems that there are not many secrets for growing, but not everyone can grow good garlic.
What do you think the neighbor told my mother the truth? I don't know if it is realistic to buy real estate in our town by selling garlic... But I think that there are some pitfalls here and the problem will be with the sale of a large batch of goods...
