Increasing the yield of garlic
Garlic is very useful, and sometimes it is not replaceable in the household. Many summer residents grow garlic in their beds. But sometimes it does not give the yield that you expected. In order to increase the yield of garlic, it is necessary to observe some measures in planting and growing it.
Site selection and preparation.
Before planting garlic, you need to decide on the location. The place where cabbage, zucchini or cucumbers were grown is best. Next, we apply both organic and mineral fertilizers. This mixture is best suited: 5 kg of humus, 30 grams of superphosphate and 20 grams of potassium chloride.
The amount of fertilizers is indicated per 1 sq. M., Which are evenly distributed. After you have applied fertilizer, you need to dig up the ground. Thus, the fertilizer is evenly distributed deep into the ground.
Timing and landing.
The best time for planting garlic is autumn (early October). When planting garlic. Landing space can be used sparingly. The distance between the seeds can be 5-6 cm, but the distance between the rows should be 25 cm.
When planting, you should not bury the garlic far into the depths, it is enough to place it at a distance of 3-4 cm. For a good harvest, it is customary to mulch the soil. For this, peat is well suited, which is applied in the amount of 1.5 buckets per 1 sq. M.
Further care.
In early spring and summer, garlic should be fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers. Further care of garlic does not require much effort. Sometimes it is necessary to water it, as well as loosen the ground. If you do everything right, then in August you will be able to harvest a crop that will certainly delight you.
Now in winter there are often strong snowless frosts, so when planting garlic in the fall, I have to bury it a little deeper, sometimes I cover the planting with straw in mid-November.
Garlic is generally very picky, the main thing is only to weed it from weeds, when it rises and fertilizes the ground with humus and other fertilizers before planting it, this is very important.
