The garlic harvest will last until spring if certain conditions are met. The main problems that you have to deal with are sprouting or drying out of the cloves.
We will tell you whether it is possible to preserve the garlic harvest until spring if you do not have a basement or storage room.
Secrets of storage
1. First of all, you need to understand that it is better to leave spring garlic for long-term storage. Winter garlic is stored worse.
2. Next, it is important to ensure suitable storage conditions.
The harvest is stored for the longest time at a temperature of 3-5 degrees Celsius.
Storage at 10-12 degrees is also allowed, but this mode significantly reduces the shelf life of garlic.
3. Garlic should be stored in a well-ventilated area and away from heating devices.
How to store in an apartment
Summer residents have long since adapted to placing whole heads in glass jars, which are covered with plastic lids with holes for air circulation.
You can put garlic in cardboard boxes and leave them in a dry and ventilated place, but not near a radiator.
You can also hang garlic on the wall, tying it into bunches, braids, or putting it in nets.
But in any of these methods, it is necessary to regularly check the harvest, selecting heads that have begun to spoil or sprout.
