How experienced gardeners feed garlic in early spring: the best options are named

If you are used to planting garlic in the winter, then at the very beginning of spring it is important to carry out high-quality fertilizing.

Thanks to this, the plant will develop properly and will be able to grow a large head.

What fertilizers are best to use?

Urea

This fertilizer is considered one of the highest quality sources of nitrogen, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.

It is customary to take no more than twenty grams of fertilizer per bucket. Remember that before adding the composition, the soil in the garden bed is usually loosened.

Urea is also sometimes replaced with ammonia or saltpeter.

Nitrophoska

This remedy should be used approximately fourteen days after nitrogen fertilization. You will need to warm up a bucket of water in the sun and add forty grams of nitrophoska to the liquid.

Make sure the fertilizer dissolves. It is also worth remembering that this feeding is best done early in the morning or late in the evening.

Potassium sulfate

This remedy also helps to achieve a quality garlic harvest. You will need to dilute thirty grams of fertilizer in a bucket of water and water it.

An important point is that after potassium sulfate, superphosphate is used almost immediately for greater efficiency. You can wait two days and apply additional fertilizer. To do this, dilute forty grams of fertilizer in a bucket of warm water.
