What to do if garlic has started to degenerate: useful advice from knowledgeable gardeners
Without tasty, aromatic, “nuclear” garlic, it is difficult to imagine the many dishes in which it acts as a necessary ingredient.
It is for this reason that in every garden you can find a bed set aside specifically for growing this vegetable.
Most often, one's own planting material is used for this purpose.
The selection is simple - just put aside the large cloves to get a new harvest of the same cloves after a while.
However, over time, garlic may begin to degenerate, meaning it will have fewer and fewer large cloves.
Moreover, diseases gradually accumulate in the planting material obtained in this way, which will sooner or later make themselves known.
Instead of spending money on buying seeds, you can rejuvenate your own garlic by using the bulblets to plant it.
Since each garlic shoot produces a large number of seeds, you only need to leave 2-3 shoots to mature to get enough seeds.
When the arrow becomes straight and the shell becomes covered with cracks, you can safely collect the bulblets to sow them at the end of September.
