Garlic should be planted 6-8 weeks before warming, as low temperatures are important for development - below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. In this article, we will talk about how to properly plant garlic.
What garlic to take for planting
Garlic from supermarkets is treated with special products that prevent germination.
Therefore, take farm garlic or from specialty gardening stores.
How to plant garlic from a clove
Choose well-drained sandy or loamy soil with added organic matter - compost.
Alternatively, you can grow garlic in a 1-foot deep container.
In the garden, choose a place for the bed, where there will be a lot of sunlight for 6 or more hours a day.
Garlic ripening time is about 8 months.
To plant the garlic, dig small holes 4-6 inches deep, place one unpeeled garlic clove in each whole, pointy end up.
Cover the holes with soil, water thoroughly and mulch.
Mulch will protect the plant from weeds, cold and will retain moisture for longer.
Feed the garlic in the spring and water the plant less frequently.
