Planting spring garlic is not limited to preparing a bed and making a hole.
This plant really belongs to the category of unpretentious ones, but it still requires attention and knowledge of the rules of care.
It is also important to choose the right variety and know the basic points of cultivation, which will allow you to get a good harvest.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What difficulties can a gardener encounter in the process of growing garlic?
This crop does not tolerate excess moisture, and if it rains often, it is worth reducing or stopping watering the beds, including adding liquid fertilizer.
Spring garlic does not produce shoots that take away nutrition from the bulbs. But everything depends on the specific variety. In any case, it is recommended to remove the shoots.
Weeds should also be controlled to prevent them from consuming resources intended for garlic. This crop can be vulnerable to white rot, rust, fusarium and thrips.
