Garlic is an indispensable product on our table.For sure, everyone knows that it is used actively in folk medicine, for example, to treat the same cold or flu. In addition, garlic is used to improve the palatability of a variety of dishes, without it, it does not cost to harvest vegetables for the winter. There is nothing surprising in the fact that garlic is loved to grow summer residents. This is a simple process, so even a beginner can start to master it. The most popular winter garlic, it is the one that is planted in the fall. I suggest you understand what the landing of garlic is in autumn. What should I look for?
Determine the time of planting garlic
The first question that worries those who plantgarlic for the first time, at what time. An ideal condition is the presence of a temperature of 12-15 ° C outside the window. Approximately this is the end of September, the beginning of October. True, in some areas this temperature can be established a little earlier, or, conversely, later. Time can also be calculated: from planting garlic to the first frost should take about a month and a half. During this time, garlic will be able to form a root system, which will allow it to winter better and give good shoots in the spring. Do not be afraid if planting garlic in autumn will lead to its growth. This only indicates that it has taken root, which means that the winter will be good for him.
After which vegetables to plant winter garlic?
It is worth paying attention to the fact that garlic is notshould often be planted in the same place. It is advisable to choose new places every year, and to land on old ones only after 3-4 years. Garlic grows well in those areas where before it grew bean, pumpkin, early cabbage, early green crops. At the same time, it is necessary to free the beds from them a few weeks earlier than the planting of garlic in the winter. Garlic grows poorly on the growing areas of potatoes, tomatoes and representatives of the bulb family.
Planting garlic in the fall: how to do everything right?
Winter garlic grows best on sandy loamsoils. The bed, on which the garlic will be planted, should be digested for a couple of weeks before planting. The depth of digging is 25 cm. It is mandatory to introduce humus (namely humus, not fresh manure) at the rate of 5-6 kg per square meter. To the same area, 30 g of superphosphates and 20 g of potassium salt will be needed.
Planted healthy chives, separatewhich from the head follows just before landing. If this is done before, they will dry up, losing the ability to grow. If the health of the denticles is doubtful, because not all of them can be thoroughly studied for the presence of any diseases, before planting, they can be soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate pink.
На грядке следует выделать рядки, расстояние between which 12-15 cm. Simply sticking denticles into the ground is not worth it, since this will complicate the formation of the root system and growth. The teeth are planted with a sharp end upwards, this allows the bulb to form correctly in the future. Planting denticles should be at a shallow depth, but not too high to the surface, otherwise garlic can freeze. Already planted garlic can be covered with a layer (5 cm) of sawdust or peat, and also lay out brushwood, which will hold snow on the beds.
That's all, landing of garlic in autumn is complete.Do not do anything else. It remains only to wait until spring to remove brushwood and a layer of mulch, providing garlic with necessary care. And it consists in timely weeding, watering during active growth and fertilizing. The latter is carried out still in the early spring by means of urea (on a bucket of water 1 tbsp). In the following two more fertilizing with urea or bird droppings should be carried out in the summer.
