Why experienced gardeners tie garlic leaves into a knot: a trick that many don’t know about
If you sometimes "spy" on the actions of more experienced summer residents, you can notice many interesting things.
For example, they have a very special approach to caring for garlic.
At a certain period of time, they simply form a knot from the leaves of the crop. This is a very interesting technique that could be taken into account, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
What is the meaning of this action?
If you want garlic to grow large, be stored well and grow high-quality, you will also practice this method. The fact is that the "knot" of leaves has a slowing effect on the process of photosynthesis.
As a result, the plant concentrates on the development of the most important part for us - the head.
It is also worth noting that the ripening process also becomes faster.
There are different opinions about when to tie the knots, but the best time is seven days before you plan to harvest.
After this you will clearly notice the difference.
