Whether it's cooking, making soup, packing dumplings or making cold foods, garlic seedlings are the usual recipes for our families. It's all about the fragrance, and almost three meals a day. It's a long time to buy it in the market, to buy it back in the fridge, and it's a short time. It's two or three days away, it's yellow, it's bad, it's long, it's rotting, it's too bad to eat。
It is also a problem to buy food often, in the middle of a storm, in the cold and inconvenient. In fact, there is no need to run to the market every once in a while, using the balcony, the window, the yard, and simply putting four cans of garlic. Garlic seedlings are particularly resilient, planting simple, conservational, cutting and growing, eating and cutting, fresh water, and being self-sufficient throughout the year。
Today, using the most glamorous phrases, we will be able to tell you from the beginning to the end about the whole system of home-grown garlic seedlings, from garlic selection, pelting, daily watering, to proper harvesting, recycle and four-season conservation techniques. Even new and old friends who have never grown vegetables can do so easily, and from then on, i will leave the day when the market for garlic is often running。
First of all, tell me about the big benefits of home-grown garlic
Why is it that more and more people now like to plant garlic in their homes? Not only is it convenient, but it has many real advantages。
First, fresh sanitation. Garlic seedlings sold in the market for food, which are picked, transported and put on a stall, are rolled around and their surfaces are covered with dust. The garlic seedlings, which are grown in their own pots, are prepared for themselves, without medication, without fertilizer, are now being cut, clean and safe, and the elderly and their children are on their feet。
The second is accessibility. When cooking, you lack garlic, you turn to the windowsill, the balcony, you cut them with scissors, you can do it in a few seconds, you don't have to change shoes, you don't have to line up, you do it more efficiently. Four bowls rotate and harvest, and one is just as long as the other, and fresh garlic is always available。
And save money. The price of garlic is high and low in the four seasons of the year, and increases in monthly prices during the holidays and winters. They grow their own at home with ordinary garlic, so that a bowl of garlic can harvest several times, and a few garlic can eat for six months and save a lot of money for food in the long run。
Finally, the garlic seedlings, which are green, are placed on windowsills, balconyes, and can also be a little green-planted home, with their eyes full, and their moods so much better. It's not as expensive as a flower, it's non-precision, it's a typical “soft vegetable”, and it can grow when it's free。
Ii. First step: selecting garlic for good seed
The first step is to select garlic, which is the basis, with many people growing it thin and weak, and the first problem is that of garlic。
We don't have to buy special garlic in our homes, and the ordinary garlic from the market and the supermarket is enough. There are a few small points to remember when selecting:
First of all, we'll give priority to a full and tight garlic. Touches are hard and full of skin, and there are no soft, moldy, worm-eyes or rots. The softer garlic petals have deteriorated inside, either they are planted without buds or they grow weak seedlings, and they grow yellow in days。
Second, try to choose the whole piece of garlic, not the pellets that have been stripped. Well-earned garlic petals are damaged, water loss is fast, and growth rates are affected. Just one more break before planting。
Thirdly, dry, thin, wrinkled little garlic petals are picked out and thrown out. The garlic itself has insufficient nutrients, with long, long, long and low harvests。
It is also important to remind you that in the market, when impregnated with potable water and specially designed for the preservation of fresh garlic, the gestations are particularly slow or even non-emergence, and that the selection is made with a view to selecting ordinary garlic for natural storage。
After choosing the whole garlic, put it in the shade of the house for a day or two and split the garlic. There is no need to strip off the skin of the garlic petals, which protects the garlic petals, reduces decomposition, locks the water, and gives rise to roots. All you have to do is clean up the dry roots at the bottom。
If you want to grow faster, you can do it earlier. Placing open garlic petals in the water for four to six hours, extracting the asphalt and planting, will significantly reduce the time of seedlings and improve their integrity. This is particularly useful in the light of the low temperature of the autumn winter festival。
Iii. The soil and the container are selected and used for household idle items
Garbage seedlings are particularly low for containers, and they are completely free to buy high-end flower pots, and much of what is left of their homes can be wasted. Plastic flower basins, pots of ceramics, old plastics basins, foam boxes, the remaining plastic baskets of washing vegetables, even used oil drums, and express boxes, can be used to grow garlic seedlings。
The only key point that requires attention: the bottom of the container must be poached. Garlic seedlings, though damp, are the most afraid of water bubble root. If there are no holes at the bottom and the water can't be drained from the water, the garlic petals can easily rot and the whole seedling can be destroyed. Friends who do not have piercing tools can be less watered, less lax soil can be barely maintained, but perforation is always the best option。
Besides, the soil, the garlic seedlings are not picky about soil and are highly adaptable. Rural friends can simply use the garden in the vegetable garden; urban households have no garden, and ordinary mud in the green belt in small areas can also be used. If the soil is rigid and corrosive, it can be mixed with a little bit of sand, a little bit of foliage, so that the soil becomes loose, the roots grow better and the garlic is naturally thicker。
There is no need to add large amounts of fertilizer to the earth, and the early periods of garlic seedlings are mainly dependent on garlic for their own nutrients. A small amount of fertilized farm fat, fermented rice fermented water fertilized and unburned in the basin soil. Be careful not to use unfermented raw manure and heavy fertilizer, which can easily be burned with garlic at a high temperature。
There is also a small amount of soil, which should not be overloaded, leaving a gap of two to three centimetres from the mouth of the basin, with no subsequent spillage of water and ease of post-care. Lightening the soil, so as not to press it hard, would make it easier for the roots to grow down。
Iv. Step-by-step planting, intensive planting, four-basket layouts
We'll have garlic, containers, and soil ready, and then we'll be able to plant it. It's simple, it's easy。
1. Cultivation
Put the processed garlic, root down, sprouts up, in the soil. Garlic can be properly ploughed, and the thicker the garlic, the stronger the whole body, the greater the visual green oil and the greater the harvest. One centimetre or so between the garlic petals will do。
The planting depth is controlled, two thirds of the garlic is buried in the soil and the sprouts on the top are exposed. It's too deep, it's hard to sprouts, it's too shallow, it's easy to roll and dry. When they are all put together, a thin layer of ground will be laid over the surface, covering the garlic graft。
2. Set root water after planting
Once all planting has been completed, water is poured out once and until the bottom of the container is released. This time, the water has to be soaked that the soil and garlic are soared that it is rapidly provoking the roots of the garlic. After the water is poured, the flower pots are moved to the cold, cold, cold, so that the sun is not tanned immediately。
In a normal room temperature environment, white little roots can be seen in the earth in two or three days, and green new buds will break out of the ground around a week, and they will grow into small seedlings in about 10 days。
Three, four sets of layout suggestions
There's four of them. We can stagger. The first one, the second one three days, and the third and fourth three days. The growth rate of the four-basket of garlic is different, staggered in maturity, cut today, cut tomorrow, and have fresh garlic every day, without the four-baskets being wasted。
Positions are given preference for a fully luminous window stand, a southward balcony, and an open house. Light-stained garlic seedlings, thick leaves, thick stammers and fragrance of garlic; long in the dark, it grows, leaves turn yellow and thin, and taste fades。
V. Routine plumbing, water control at the core, year-round management
Once the garlic seedlings are planted, the daily care is very low, and the core is two things: watering and lighting. Many people can't feed garlic, mostly because of the poor water。
The garlic is wet, but it's absolutely dry. Let's split the water between seasons, easy to remember。
Spring fall: this is the most fertilizing season for garlic seedlings, with a suitable temperature and a medium rate of water evaporation. The soil surface of the basin is observed, and the surface soil is dried and the colour is lighter before water is watered every time. The water is usually watered two to three days and the soil is humid。
Summer: high temperatures, large sun, rapid evaporation of water and appropriate increase in the frequency of water irrigation. Water is poured every morning or evening to avoid high noon temperatures. It's hot in the mid-day basin, and it's easy to stimulate the root system with cold water. In consecutive rainy days, the flower pots are moved to the rain shelter in time to prevent the pelvis from spreading. In summer, when the sun is tanned, it is easy to cover the sun at noon to avoid tanning the leaves。
Winter: low temperatures, slower growth of garlic seedlings and significant reduction in water consumption. It is essential to reduce the number of waters being poured and to make conservation safer in the basin. It's about five to seven days to water once, choosing to water at the highest noon temperature. During the winter, emphasis was placed on windproofing, freezing, indoor sunwarding, not outdoor wind vents, and avoiding cold-freeze blades and roots。
In addition to watering, surface soils are occasionally loosed. Long-term watering is easy to tie up the pellets, and shallow pines increase aerobicity, the roots breathe smoothly and the garlic grow more strongly. There are few pests and diseases in the pelvis, and there is little need for medication, and the environment is well ventilated, so that the insects are not sick, and there are no real saving vegetables。
Vi. The right method of harvesting: after cutting, it can last longer, round by round
Many friends cut garlic for the first time, in the wrong way, and then the plant simply dies, and no new buds will grow, and garlic will be wasted. With proper harvesting techniques, a canal of garlic seedlings can be harvested three to four times in a row, and utilization rates can be filled directly。
1. Harvest tools and location
Prefer to the scissors, clean and clean, and don't shake the garlic root. The position of the harvest is critical: it cuts below the surface of the soil by two to three centimetres, cutting only the green leaves on the ground, and retaining the white mantle and the root line at the bottom。
The bottom section is the growth point of garlic seed, where all the nutrients are stored. Retain the growth point and maintain it for a few days, the foundation will re-emerge and grow again into a full garlic seed. It's hard to germinate again if you cut the ground and hurt the growth point and garlic。
2. Batch harvesting, rotational use
We've got four jars of garlic. We don't have to take all of it out at once. Sub-regional harvesting can take place, with half of one basin being cut and half being kept growing; and four harvests alternately according to the earlier staggered pace. This way, fresh garlic is available at all times, and is constantly supplied。
3. Post-cutting conservation, contributing to the next
Do not immediately pour water and fertilize, after every garlic seed has been cut. First put in a ventilator for two to three days, so that the wound can dry up. This was followed by a small amount of fresh water to replenish the water。
If we want to make the next one stronger, we can spread a little bit of nutrient water after the harvest is healed. It would be most appropriate for households to water well fermented rice with thin water, which is natural and mild and which supplements nutrients without burning seedlings. And when every harvest is filled with a simple nutrient, the garlic grows stronger。
Under normal conservation, after one cut, it can grow again to harvestable heights of about 20 days, cycling back and forth and reaping several times a season。
Question answers, treatment of symptoms, easy resolution of conservation challenges
It is a small problem to find the right reasons for the occasional small-scale infestation。
One, the garlic is tall and tall and yellow
The main reason is insufficient light. It's in the dark corners of the room for a long time, and the garlic seed will fall back in pursuit of the light and fight for its strength. The solution: to move immediately to a well-silent location, with follow-up guarantees that every day there will be plenty of light, which will slowly grow stronger。
Two. Garlic rots. Root rots
One hundred percent is due to over-watering and soil-filled water. Immediately after detection, water was stopped and humid into the ventilation area. The carcasses of the carcasses are to be removed from the ground to prevent the fungus from spreading other healthy garlic. Follow-up strict water control, no water。
Three, the seedlings are mixed, and some gerbils don't move
Mostly the garlic is of different quality, or the planting is far too shallow. This problem can be improved by removing the dried garlic petals from the selection and maintaining the same depth of planting. The slow onset of cold weather is normal and patience is sufficient。
Four, the tip of the leaf drys out
The air is too dry, or the sun is hot in the summer. In the summer, suitable shades can be used to increase moisture by spreading a little water on the surrounding ground, which will lead to an improvement in the concentration of the leaves。
Viii. Quadrennial overview of overall conservation, freeing garlic throughout the year
On the whole, garlic seedlings are typical of thick-stamped vegetables that are cold, wet and resilient and can be planted in spring, summer and autumn。
In spring, the temperature rises with the fastest rate of growth, the sun is warmer, normal water is watered, and harvests are harvested; in the summer, shades are done, rain is avoided, water is poured, but water is not accumulated; in the autumn, the cooler weather is the golden season in which garlic is planted, with the highest rate of activity and the best growth; in the winter, it moves into the sun indoors, less water, less cold wind, lower temperatures and slow growth of the garlic seed, but the garlic tastes more rosy。
The simpleness of having four bowls of garlic at home, with little effort and little space on the windowsill and balcony, will make it possible to build a small “home garden”. When you cook, you cut it, and you put fresh garlic on the table, clean, convenient and save money. It's practical and cost-effective for friends living in their homes to eat their own garlic seed for four seasons of the year without the sun-tanned market。
