На первый взгляд, кажется, что вырастить хороший garlic is quite difficult. Many believe that this culture is very fastidious to the conditions of growing and planting. In fact, everything is much simpler. Knowing a few tricks, you can grow excellent garlic without much effort.
A huge role in the cultivation of this product is playedthe precursors of garlic. Almost all vegetable crops need fruit rotation. Thus, the soil is not depleted, but, on the contrary, enriched by all the necessary elements. An important detail in choosing the predecessors of a vegetable is the root length of the plant. Every year on the same site it is recommended to plant vegetables with different length of the root part. Thus, each of the plants depletes the soil at different levels.
It is not recommended to use organicfertilizers before planting garlic. This vegetable is very sensitive to various fungal diseases. Together with this fertilizer, many different fungi fall into the soil that can harm the heads of garlic. Use of mineral fertilizers in small quantities is allowed. Many gardeners strongly say that organic garlic precursors are fertilized. For example, organic fertilizer is delivered to a plot of land and cucumbers or zucchini are planted. In July, these vegetables are harvested and allowed to rest. About a few weeks before the beginning of a cold snap, garlic can be planted in this area.
Not all vegetables can be precursors of garlic.It is not recommended to plant garlic where onions or carrots were previously grown. Onions belong to the same family as garlic and impoverish the soil on the necessary elements. As for carrots, even though it belongs to another family and has a longer root, it depletes the soil very much. If you plant garlic after carrots and onions, the harvest will be very poor. It is also undesirable to plant it after potatoes and beets.
The best precursors for garlic are cereals.crops and winter herbs. As a rule, oats, barley, wheat, alfalfa, clover have a good root system. Due to this, they extract useful elements from the deep layers of the soil to the higher ones. The use of grains and winter grasses as predecessors is called "green manure." After the grain crops grow by 15-20 cm, the plot is dug up along with the grown plants, and the ground is prepared for planting garlic.
In addition, after the cereal soil is saturatedWith many elements, a powerful root system clogs various kinds of weeds and weeds. Another advantage of grain crops is that they kill various kinds of fungi and other pathogens. Thus, the use of grain crops and winter herbs not only saturates the soil with all the necessary elements, but also disinfects it.
As a rule, garlic is planted either earlyin spring or autumn. It depends on the variety and the estimated date of harvest. Spring garlic (it is also called spring) spices longer than winter and has a lower yield. However, such garlic is stored much better. The forerunners of spring garlic are cereal and winter herbs. But the squash, zucchini, cabbage - this is the forerunner of garlic for winter planting.
For spring garlic, for example, at the end of AugustA plot of land is planted with wheat. After sprouting 15-20 cm, they mow and dig it up. The land is resting and wintering in this form, and in early spring, you can begin planting spring garlic in this area.
Winter garlic is planted in areas where garlic precursors grew before winter. It is very important that before planting a vegetable, the earth rests in a dug up form at least a few weeks.
Observing the above tips, on your site you can grow a good harvest of garlic.
