In the summer, not all summer residents use fertilizers for garlic.

But this is only permissible if you have properly prepared the soil for planting and have not forgotten to add nutrients during the spring.

In all other cases, it definitely makes sense to feed garlic in the summer. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer, is sure that this will help grow juicy and large heads.

Just two feedings are enough.

What are we talking about?

Potassium with phosphorus

These components are simply necessary for obtaining large and appetizing garlic. Some add substances separately. For example, you can choose double superphosphate and potassium sulfate. The latter can be replaced with potassium magnesium sulfate.

Or you can use potassium monophosphate. You will need about seven grams of fertilizer per bucket of water.

Ash

This remedy can also be applied during the summer: ash is very useful for garlic. You can use it in any convenient way.

For example, you can simply leave ash between the rows, cover it up and water it periodically.

Or you can dilute half a glass of fertilizer in a bucket of water and water the garlic.
