How to plant garlic correctly

Who among us doesn't like garlic? Perhaps such a person will be difficult to find, despite the pungent smell of this culture. Garlic lovers take care of it in advance and plant it in the winter, before the onset of frost. But this way is not entirely correct, although it may be faster and easier; winter garlic is most often born weakened, since under such planting conditions it cannot form a powerful root system, the cloves are poorly supplied with nutrients and moisture. How to plant garlic correctly to get a rich harvest?

Before planting garlic, be sure to follow the rule of crop rotation. Under no circumstances should garlic be placed in the same place where it grew last year, or in the beds where onions grew. This culture does not like to grow after beets and carrots. The best place for garlic will be the soil after all types of cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and peppers, since it contains organic matter that was added under its predecessor.

Experienced gardeners know how to plant garlic; before planting, the cloves must be treated with potassium permanganate to prevent unwanted diseases; cloves from decayed bulbs are not suitable for planting. All cloves that are prepared for planting must be carefully examined to identify rot on them; planting material with fusarium will not be suitable. Overripe garlic does not store well, so it needs to be planted on time.

In the beds for garlic you need to make grooves, fill them with sand and water them a little with a solution of potassium permanganate.It also doesn’t hurt to add ash and lime to the soil.

A good harvest is produced by garlic, which grows on loamy and sandy soils.
