The lunar calendar is a good help in the difficult everyday life of gardeners and vegetable growers. It is extremely difficult to keep such a volume of information in your head.
In this article, we will tell you when to plant winter garlic in October 2024 to get a healthy and rich harvest.
Planting dates
The recommendations of the gardener's and vegetable grower's calendar are not generally accepted. It is important to take into account the climate in the region of residence.
Planting usually begins 30-35 days before the onset of persistent frosts.
Landing site
The second important issue is crop rotation. The best place for winter planting of this crop will be a former tomato, cucumber or cabbage bed.

It is recommended to prepare a bed for planting garlic a couple of weeks before sowing.
Organic lovers add humus (half a bucket), ash and chicken manure (1 liter) per square meter of garden bed.
To normalize soil acidity, dolomite flour (300 g) is added.
You can add mineral fertilizers: potassium sulfate (25-30 g per the same area) and superphosphate (40-50 g).
Favorable days
If everything has already been done, then all that remains is to take into account the phases of the moon.
If the weather permits, you can start sowing on October 5 and 6, 14 and 15, 18 and 19, 22 and 23, and also October 29, 30, and 31.
