By planting winter garlic in August instead of October, you can increase the yield by 70%.

This was reported by the Zen channel “Ideal Garden”.

How to Plant Winter Garlic in August

Planting should be done in the last ten days of August, or at the latest in early September.

This allows to increase the yield significantly. When planted early, garlic has time to grow strong roots.

Yes, the emerging shoots may die in frost, but well-rooted cloves will not die.

In order for garlic to take root well and survive frosts, it must be planted at a depth of 10-15 centimeters.

The best predecessors for garlic are legumes, early cabbage, pumpkin, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers. It is not worth planting after potatoes and onions.
