Growing large and healthy garlic in your garden is not a difficult job, but it does require certain skills.
Many people mistakenly believe that garlic can grow without special care, but in reality everything looks different.
To get large and juicy garlic heads, you need to properly prepare the soil, provide the plants with sufficient moisture and nutrients, and protect the plantings from pests and diseases.
Caring for Garlic
Follow 4 simple tips to ensure full baskets of garlic at the end of the season.
Preparing the soil
Before sowing garlic, you need to prepare the soil: fertilize the beds with fertilizer and treat the soil for weeds.
Loosen the soil until it becomes soft and easy for the garlic to germinate.
Sowing garlic
It is best to sow garlic in the fall before the cold weather sets in. Select healthy heads of garlic and plant them as cloves.
Watering and fertilizing
To ensure that garlic grows large and healthy without yellow tips, it needs to be provided with sufficient moisture and nutrients.
Yellow tips may indicate a lack of nitrogen. When leaves turn yellow, dilute 10-15 g of urea in 5 liters of water and apply foliar feeding.
Pests
Treatment with special preparations will reliably protect garlic from diseases and pests.
Follow these simple steps to get a great garlic harvest.
