If you want to get large, well-developed heads of garlic, you should not sit back.

You can achieve what you want by using a trick in your garden that was known to our grandmothers.

And it consists of tying garlic leaves into a knot.

This should be done to help the main flow of substances to be redirected from the above-ground part down to the “roots”.

This process also occurs on its own, starting around mid-summer. However, unlike onions, it cannot boast of any particular speed.

For this reason, savvy gardeners resort to tying garlic leaves into a knot.

The right time for the “operation” comes a couple of weeks after removing the arrows and usually falls in mid-July.

In addition to the fact that this method is believed to make garlic grow larger, it should also be stored much longer.
