Garlic is a healthy vegetable that is valued for its ability to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, as an antidote for poisoning, and as a preventative measure against diseases.

Gardeners enjoy growing garlic and use time-tested life hacks and tricks to harvest a rich harvest of juicy heads.

Caring for Garlic

The plot for garlic is usually prepared in the fall and it is planted in the ground no later than the first ten days of April. In the fall, garlic is planted from mid-September to mid-October.

Garlic will grow well in fertile and neutral soil, on loam. However, lowlands where water stagnates will be detrimental to the plant.

In the fall, 30 g of superphosphate, 20 g of potassium salt and a bucket of humus are added to each square of the beds where garlic will grow.

Garlic will benefit from being placed next to roses, gladioli and tulips.

It is good to plant garlic after cabbage and zucchini, pumpkin, beans, peas and green manure; it is not advisable to choose beds for garlic where cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes or onions were previously grown.
