Garlic is considered an unpretentious crop, but to get an excellent harvest you will have to work a little.
Large fruits are dug up only by those gardeners whose garlic did not experience a deficiency of nutrients.
To avoid disappointment with the harvest, you need to take care of the fertilizing. Experienced agronomists have indicated that the soil plays a big role for garlic.
It is important to understand that representatives of the Onion subfamily have a weak root system. Therefore, the bed for garlic needs to be thoroughly fertilized.
No less important is the role played by what crops were grown before. Garlic is recommended to be planted after cucumbers, cabbage and other plants, for which more organic fertilizers are usually added.
After the shoots appear, the garlic is fed with nitrogen compounds so that the plant can better grow its above-ground part.
At the beginning of summer, a complex fertilizer is applied, which contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Then gradually the emphasis is placed on the last macroelement. Potassium fertilizers are irreplaceable when the goal is to grow large heads.
