The most valuable option for garlic is natural fertilizers with a rich composition. Particular attention is usually paid to prepared compost or humus.

As a rule, one bucket is enough for one square meter of garlic.

Urea

This additional feeding is also extremely important for the full development of garlic. Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh reminds that in the spring period nitrogen is extremely important for garlic.
