Garlic is one of the most popular garden crops.
Therefore, every summer resident should know the rules for feeding this plant.
It is important what fertilizers are applied to the garlic bed in June.
The fact is that the first month of summer is the decisive period in the development of culture.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what can and cannot be used to feed garlic at the beginning of summer.
How to feed garlic in June
This month the plant needs potassium. If there is a deficiency of this microelement, the garlic heads will not be large.
In addition, a lack of potassium can cause garlic to have poor shelf life in the future.
This is why at the beginning of summer it is necessary to add potassium fertilizers to the garlic bed.

Moreover, a large amount of nitrogen in June will make the plant more vulnerable to various diseases.
