The eternal question: should you pull out or trim garlic shoots?

Many gardeners argue about the best way to get rid of garlic shoots - some break them, while others twist them.

Some people also use scissors, cutting off the arrows completely, leaving small stumps.

In fairness, pruning with scissors is the simplest solution, but a caring gardener is unlikely to like this approach.

But there is no need to worry, as the “wounds” will heal very soon and new and fully developed feathers will grow.

As for pulling out, a depression remains at the site of the pulled out arrow - if water gets there during rain, rotting processes can start.

And if evaporation begins in hot summer weather, then ideal conditions will be created for the development of fungus - in this case, you can forget about the normal development of the fetus.

As for breaking off, if there is no indentation left, then this method is also suitable for preserving the integrity of the garlic.
