How to choose the right bed for planting winter garlic: village tricks
Planting winter garlic is one of the most important autumn tasks on the list of plans for any responsible gardener.
It is important to do everything correctly in order to collect an excellent harvest of the popular crop next season.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the correct choice of beds, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What are the main points to pay attention to?
First, you need to remember that garlic can, in principle, be planted in the same place for three seasons without observing crop rotation. During this time, the soil will not have time to become depleted and infected with pathogenic flora or pests.
However, it will still be necessary to apply various fertilizers in order to improve the quality of the harvest.
If you are already looking for a new place for garlic, then you should pay attention to the soil after corn and pumpkin. Also, squash and zucchini can be good predecessors.
But beds after tomatoes, peppers, onions and eggplants will be a bad choice.
After this, it is worth assessing the acidity level: a good harvest can only be obtained if planted on neutral soil. It is important to remember that planting activities are carried out two weeks before the first frost.
