Rarely meet a garden or cottage, bedswhich does not take garlic. This culture, beloved by many, is necessary for preservation, gives a special attractiveness to different dishes, and the plant has even more than enough useful properties.
Garlic is propagated by dividing the bulbon the teeth and bulbs - aerial bulbs that grow on the arrow. In the first year, full-fledged bulbs grow from the zubkov, and it takes three years to get the harvest from the bulbs. Because of this, some gardeners refuse such a method of reproduction, and it is in vain. After reviewing the advantages of this method of cultivation, they often change their minds and ask: "When, where and how to plant garlic with seeds?"
Garlic becomes shallower over the years, therefore it needs rejuvenation every five years, and preferably three years.
If in a garlic bulb cloves there is only 4-10each bulb puts 20 to 150 bullets. This method of reproduction allows you to get a large amount of healthy seed, maintain the grade of garlic, grow a full-fledged crop, resistant to diseases and pests.
Garlic has a feature:bulbs do not affect fungal, viral and bacterial infections. Pure planting material has great potential, making the crop of high quality.
При выращивании зубками на посадку расходуется about one-seventh of the total yield, and when the bulbs reproduce, the cost of marketable garlic does not occur. This is another plus in favor of the air bulbs - cost.
As you can see, there are many reasons for usingit is this planting material. After examining the benefits of reproduction of garlic seeds, gardeners begin to think about how to grow garlic from bulbokhek. And this is correct, because not every garlic is capable of producing onion bulbs, this property is inherent only in winter-growing arrow varieties.
Seed can be grown in two ways - by plantinggarlic bulbs in autumn and spring. And also there is a technique developed by experienced summer residents, with the help of which they get large air bulbs that can give a full harvest in the second year of the growing season.
Experienced gardeners know how to grow garlicfrom the bulbhods in such a way as to get already the next summer, not a small sevok, but a large odontice. The secret of this method is simple - a tooth during landing is placed in a growth arrestor, which, for example, is a piece of plastic pipe.
Teeth are sown before winter. In early spring, the plants start off growing and in the beginning of summer they form floral arrows. To prevent sudden wind gusts from breaking them, it is recommended to tie the arrows to the stakes.
The limiter does not allow the tooth to grow and develop,As a result, all food is directed to the development of the arrow. Thus obtained aerial onions are much larger than during traditional growing season.
In the middle of summer, the development of garlic comes toAt the end, the tops turn yellow. The arrows are cut and tied in bunches. In order to prevent the fall of bulbs, flower stalk balls are tied with gauze. Bundles are turned and hung in the attic.
It takes about a month for the bulbs to be collected.quality dry and finally ripen. After that, the onion bulbs are threshed and calibrated. For planting garlic bulbs for the winter choose the largest seeds.
Usually landing time is in October. It depends on weather conditions and climate features. It is necessary that before the arrival of frost bullets rooted, but did not have time to germinate.
When planting garlic bulbs for the winter a lotplanting material is pushed frosts to the surface of the soil. When spring planting, of course, this does not happen, the onions immediately start to grow, but the harvest is lower. Yes, and save the bulb until spring is obtained not at all. After weighing all the pros and cons, everyone decides for himself when to plant the bulbs - in spring or autumn.
To improve germination and yield onover 10 days, the broths are stratified. This is done immediately before disembarking in the ground in this way: air bulbs are placed in a gauze bag and sent to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. And keep them there only at night, and in the daytime they are taken out and left at room temperature.
Some gardeners prefer to plantbulbs immediately to a permanent place, maintaining the planting pattern, as when landing teeth - 8 centimeters from each other, the distance between rows - 25-30 centimeters. With this method, sevok not clean, and leave on the same bed.
If the land area does not allow, you can thicken planting, thinning the plants next fall.
Since the air bulbs are much smaller,than teeth, the question arises of how deeply the garlic bulbs should be planted. Seeds are planted in the prepared soil at a depth of 4-5 centimeters. As a rule, this is enough so that they will not be pushed to the surface of the frozen ground, the plants normally take root, grow and develop.
Depending on the soil moisture, groovespre watered. From above the planting it is desirable to mulch to prevent drying and germination of weeds. Plant residues, peat or sawdust are suitable for this. The thickness of the mulch layer is usually 2-3 cm.
How to grow garlic from the bulb in the spring?Plants are planted thickly on a tape pattern. Tapes are cut to 90 centimeters wide, in each tape 7 rows are obtained. Between tapes maintain a distance of 30-40 centimeters. The embedding depth is 3 centimeters, the consumption of planting material per 1 meter is up to 100 bulbboxes, when growing seedlings with an autumn transplant.
If you don’t plan to transplant the garlic in the fall, aerial onions should be planted less frequently, using 33 small or 25 large ones per 1 running meter.
Planted begin as soon as the soil ripens. Usually it is April - the beginning of May. A bed prepared from autumn is loosened, equated with a rake, and a nitroammophoshka is applied - 40 g per square meter.
The best precursors for planting garlic are legumes, pumpkin, cabbage and perennial herbs. It is not recommended to plant garlic after tomatoes and potatoes in order to avoid infection with Fusarium.
Чеснок предпочитает легкие, рыхлые почвы neutral acidity. For planting should choose a well-lit place on a hill, so that the meltwater does not lead to freezing and infection of plants.
It will be important to note that an excess of organic matter in the soil provokes abundant growth of garlic tops, and the teeth are curved and small.
Under planting contribute to the soil:
After that, they dig up the earth.
It is necessary to prepare the soil in advance - no later than 1.5-2 weeks prior to the landing of the aerial bulbs.
Acidic soils are recommended to produce (add 300-400 g of lime per square meter).
Growing garlic from bulbs at allharder than from Zubkov. Care is the timely weeding and loosening, as the weeds are very oppressive growth of young plants. It is especially desirable to carry out shallow loosening after rains and irrigations.
Water at dry and hot weather once every 10 days, moistening the soil to a depth of 8-10 centimeters.
Over the entire growing season, 3 supplements are administered:
We discussed the question of how to plant garlic seeds. With this method of breeding, you can leave the sevok to grow further on the same bed or remove it in the fall and transplant to a new place.
Everyone decides for himself, weighinglabor costs and efficiency, and if all the same the decision to transplant garlic is made, the main thing is to remove single-teeth in time. This is best done when the leaves of the plants begin to turn yellow. Do not overdo sevke in the ground, as it will be poorly stored.
Harvesting is carried out in the morning on an overcast day, since the direct rays of the sun spoil the one-teeth and make them unsuitable for subsequent planting.
The collected onions are dried under a canopy before being stored, or further cultivated.
How to store garlic bulbs?Before landing in the ground, aerial bulbs must be preserved so that they do not dry out and mop up. To do this, the planting material is packed in a newspaper or folded in a small box, a cardboard box and placed in a dry dark place in which the temperature is maintained not lower than 18-20 degrees Celsius.
There they are stored until February, then the onionsremoved, transferred to the refrigerator or cellar. You can put them in a bag of cloth and bury them in the snow. This is done so that the bulbules undergo stratification and receive a push to the beginning of the growing season. Then they are dried, aired, removed dried and spoiled, soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate and planted on the beds.
