Garlic is an easy plant to care for. It is important to know just a few growing secrets.
Grow garlic in a well-lit area of the garden. Choose well-drained, loamy soil.
Plant garlic 4 inches apart.
To improve the soil, use mulching. This can not only improve the composition of the soil, but also reduce the number of weeds in the beds.
Regularly remove weeds near the garlic.
Fertilizing will help increase the quantity and quality of the harvest.
In spring, it is best to fertilize garlic using organic means - chicken droppings, blood meal, compost.
Compost is an excellent fertilizer for garlic, as it improves soil nutrition, retains moisture and creates drainage.
If the summer is dry, water the plant every week.
Application of nitrogen-containing fertilizers in summer is not recommended, as this can reduce the volume of the bulbs.
