"Salty" watering

In the first days of summer, it is advisable to water garlic in a non-standard way. Thus, regular watering should be alternated with "salty" watering.

In the second case, we are talking about adding table salt to the liquid.

But it is important not to overdo it with the additive: no more than two tablespoons of sodium chloride per bucket of water.

Immediately after the garden crop has been watered with a small amount of salt water, it should be watered with clean liquid.

Experienced gardeners assure that salt water protects garlic from dangerous insects and microorganisms, and also makes the vegetable more delicious.
