The garlic harvest is coming soon, but there is still time to make the most of it.
With a few simple steps you can have a chance to influence important characteristics of garlic.
These include the ability to be stored, large size and excellent taste, recalls agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What 3 procedures are we talking about?
Final feeding
This month you can still "treat" garlic with valuable nutrients before harvesting. This will significantly improve the quality characteristics of the product.
It is best to limit yourself to natural ash. Sprinkle the bed, water and lightly season the soil with ash.
Knots
Many people know that five days before harvesting, the garlic leaves need to be twisted into special knots. Thanks to this, the crop will stop wasting nutrition on the green part, which will allow it to concentrate on forming excellent fruits.
Termination of water procedures
It is important to calculate the harvest time correctly. Watering should be stopped 14 days before this date.
