What to do a week before planting winter garlic: heads will grow as big as a fist and without diseases
To harvest large and healthy winter garlic from your plot, you will have to work hard.
What exactly needs to be done? You simply need to prepare the bed 1-2 weeks before you plan to start planting garlic for the winter.
So, to prevent the occurrence of rot, in the fall it is necessary to water the soil with a composition that will destroy pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
This product is a 3% Bordeaux mixture known to all summer residents. A ten-liter watering can will be enough for 2 square meters.
After the procedure, wait about 3-5 days - this time will be enough for the solution to go deep into the ground.
When the above-mentioned period has passed, add fertilizer to the bed.
For each square meter of land you will need 2 buckets of humus or compost, half a bucket of sand, 5 tablespoons of mustard cake, 5 to 16 tablespoons of dolomite flour (the exact amount depends on the acidity of the soil), 3 tablespoons of potassium magnesium sulfate and 3 tablespoons of superphosphate.
Dig up the area along with the fertilizers and you can begin planting garlic that has been pre-treated against diseases.
