Garlic can hardly be called a “demanding” garden crop.
A person will get a harvest even if he made serious mistakes in caring for the plant.
However, the quality of the garlic will be low: the heads and cloves are small and there is no bright aroma.
However, any summer resident wants the spicy vegetable to be as large and tasty as possible.
To do this, you need to properly care for the crop. Particular attention should be paid to watering the plant.
In some periods, garlic needs a lot of moisture, while in others, frequent watering is not necessary.
The period of formation of teeth
At this time, the garden crop needs quite a lot of water.
The plant should be watered weekly. And quite generously.
On hot days, the gardener should moisten the soil to a depth of approximately 20 centimeters.
The final stage of cultivation
Exactly one month before the planned garlic harvest, the gardener should stop watering the plant frequently.
The less often this procedure is carried out during this period, the better.
If the gardener continues to water the vegetable crop abundantly in the last weeks of cultivation, the heads will become watery. The vegetable will lose its piquancy and bright aroma.
But if you follow the watering rules described above, the garlic cloves will grow large and tasty.
