Many gardeners feed garlic incorrectly.

They use fertilizer which, contrary to popular belief, does not benefit the plant at all.

We are talking about... nettle infusion.

It is because of this popular remedy that many summer residents are left without a quality garlic harvest.

After all, such feeding leads to the formation of small heads.

What will happen if you start fertilizing garlic with nettle infusion

In this case, the above-ground part of the plant will begin to develop first.

But serious problems will arise with the underground part of the garden crop.

This means that the garlic heads will receive too few nutrients.

The point is that these compounds will start to flow “into the feathers”.

Don't want your plant to develop exactly like this?

Then under no circumstances fertilize garlic with products prepared on the basis of nettle!

It is worth noting that nettle infusion has an extremely negative effect on some other garden crops.

Thus, such feeding can significantly slow down the growth of legumes. And the product can also leave the gardener without a good onion harvest.
