One of the important components of garlic care is timely and proper fertilizing.

It is precisely by adding the right fertilizers that experienced gardeners manage to prevent garlic from turning yellow.

The first feeding should be done as soon as you notice sprouts in the garden bed.

To do this, you will need to dissolve a tablespoon of urea in a bucket of water. Use the resulting solution for watering.

Alternatively, scatter urea over damp soil. In this case, one tablespoon will be needed per square meter.

After about a month, it is time for the second feeding.

This time, you should take a tablespoon of magnesium sulfate and potassium sulfate per bucket of water and add it to the garlic beds after watering.

During the period of active growth and formation of garlic heads, you will need phosphorus-potassium compounds, which should be applied according to the instructions, or regular ash - dust the beds with it, using one glass of wood burning residue per square meter.
