For many gardeners, especially beginners, the question of fertilizing garlic after removing the shoots is very relevant.
There is a product that will stimulate good plant growth and will have a positive effect on the storage of vegetables.
The basis of this remedy is potassium, which is “responsible” for immunity, that is, for preventing diseases.
It is potassium that ensures normal storage of vegetables and also gives them the taste qualities that we all love so much.
Therefore, experienced gardeners do not skimp on a “treat” for garlic in the form of potassium sulfate - it is easily absorbed by the plant roots and dissolves well in water.
In addition, the fertilizer contains about 17% sulfur and 3% magnesium (potassium – 45%), which are also very useful for garlic.
Here's what we do: add a tablespoon of potassium sulfate to 10 liters of water, and then water 2 square meters of garlic beds with the solution.
Then sprinkle the bed with ash – 5-6 tablespoons per square meter.
Why is ash needed? Because with each watering or rain, nutrients are released from the ash, which are absorbed by the roots of garlic.
In addition, ash strengthens the immunity of plants and reduces the activity of fungal spores in the garden.
Those in the know say that using ash alone you can increase the yield of garlic by 15-20 percent.
Earlier we told you what to plant after harvesting winter garlic.
