Gardeners assure that there is no better time to feed winter garlic shoots. If you do not miss this moment, the heads will grow the size of a fist.
Let it be considered that this crop does not require special attention from summer residents, but if you completely give up, the harvest will be below average.
When to feed
You won’t have to regret the harvest of winter garlic if you fertilize it after the first spring rains, when the soil has already warmed up.
This time is considered ideal for adding nutrient mixtures.
You can use the simplest, most accessible and therefore no less effective option.
They say that once you use this composition in your gardens, summer residents forget about everything else. We are talking about fertilizer with ammonia.
How to proceed
You will need a bucket of settled, clean and warm water.
You need to dissolve two tablespoons of ammonia in it, which is sold in any pharmacy.
After mixing the solution, it is added to the space between the rows, most conveniently using a watering can.
Ammonia additive stimulates the growth of green mass and promotes the development of heads.
In addition, this composition repels known pests.
Fertilizing can be done at intervals of once every three weeks.
Between fertilizing, it is a good idea to dust the garlic bed with wood ash.
