If you want to save your plantings from early yellowing and get high-quality and large fruits, you have to try.

It is important to remember not only about simple procedures (weeding, watering), but also about the fertilizing that even such an unpretentious crop needs.

In June, garlic no longer needs nitrogen. If you add this element, the fruits will not be able to be stored for long. In the first summer month of planting, you should feed it with potassium, which accelerates the growth of cloves and improves their condition.

As for mineral fertilizers, you can take potassium sulfate, potassium magnesium sulfate or potassium monophosphate.

The solution is easy to prepare. For 10 liters of water, take a few grams of the preparation, and then water the plants. If we are talking about potassium sulfate, then you will have to take 30 grams of the product, but for monophosphate, 10 grams will be enough.

You can also use an ash infusion. This remedy also contains a lot of potassium.

If you want mineral fertilizers to be absorbed faster, you can add humates to the top dressing in quantities that are usually indicated in the instructions.
