Garlic will require certain conditions for its healthy development and strong growth.

One of the key factors that will have a big impact on the size of your garlic bulbs is proper nutrition.

Do not neglect natural fertilizers, which are good for everything: practicality, effective impact on plants and soil, safety for the environment.

Compost

When preparing a bed for garlic, it is advisable to use compost to improve the quality of the soil and add micro- and macroelements.

Add up to 5 kg of compost per 1 sq. m, and you can add up to 20 g of superphosphate and a glass of wood ash to it.

Ash

The product contains many useful minerals and elements and can be used as a natural fertilizer for garlic.

It is preferable to mix ash into the soil before planting, and it can be applied to the beds after planting garlic.

Mulch

Another good fertilizer for garlic is straw, leaves or herbs.

Natural fertilizer helps to retain moisture, protects the soil from drying out and preserves nutrition in it.

Mulching will help prevent weed growth and maintain soil temperatures at the desired level.

It is not difficult to grow a large harvest of garlic if you feed the plants with the right fertilizers.
