Experienced gardeners always plant garlic near a flower bed with gladioli.
What this gives is explained by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
This proximity helps protect gladioli from pests and diseases.
Garlic can be planted either near a flowerbed or directly on it.
Before planting gladioli, it is recommended to water the soil with garlic infusion.
Pour 40-50 grams of crushed garlic into ten liters of water, leave for 24 hours, strain before use.
Also good neighbors for gladioli are marigolds, calendula and nasturtium. They protect gladioli from fusarium and rot.
You can soak the bulbs in an infusion of dried marigold flowers before planting. Pour 2.5 liters of water over 250 grams of raw material, leave for three days, and strain.
