Without exception, all summer residents who put in a lot of effort and spend a lot of time to grow vegetables and fruits on their garden plots expect a good harvest.
This rule also applies when it comes to growing garlic.
It is unlikely that anyone wants to get small heads consisting of tiny teeth as a result of their work – a laughing matter!
If you are also aiming to get large, “fleshy” garlic, check if you are making one common mistake that many growers are guilty of.
And it lies in the fact that almost 90% of farmers are sure that spring moisture is enough for garlic to grow and develop.
This is fundamentally not true - this vegetable, like, for example, cabbage and cucumbers, is a “water-drinker”, so the bed in which garlic is grown should always be moist.
The exception is two weeks before harvest.
Remember: the thicker the stem and the larger the leaves, the more garlic bulbs and, of course, cloves will grow in the end, and do not neglect to moisten the beds.
