How to choose the right place to plant winter garlic and which seeds are best

To ensure a rich garlic harvest, you should remember all the intricacies of planting it.

It is also important to know how to choose the right planting location and variety of this vegetable.

Planting garlic

Pay attention to the weather and climate conditions of the region. It is best to finish planting garlic three weeks before the onset of frost. This will give the garlic a chance to grow its root system. The approximate time for planting garlic is the end of October - beginning of November.

Rules for planting garlic

Choose places that are slightly elevated. Excessive moisture can cause fungus and rot. Plant garlic on the sunny side. Make sure that the plant is not shaded by buildings or tall trees.

Soil

The soil should be fertile and loose and have a neutral acidity level.
If the acidity is increased, the soil is limed, chalk, lime or dolomite flour is added.

Crop rotations

The choice of a planting site should meet crop rotation requirements. Compliance with these requirements will greatly facilitate the process of growing garlic and obtaining the maximum amount of harvest from it.

Garlic can be planted in the same soil where zucchini, pumpkin, eggplant or tomatoes, as well as greens or cabbage, were previously grown. However, garlic cannot be planted after radishes, carrots or potatoes.

The right varieties

Choose high-yielding varieties of garlic. These include "Alkor", "Osenniy", "Grodekovsky", "Podmoskovny", "Lyubasha", "Komsomolets". If you choose the right place to plant garlic, the harvest will be large and healthy.
