The garlic growers know it's not working in april, and there's nothing left to do. After the light, when the temperature comes up, garlic doesn't just grow leaves, it starts to get busy with garlic. It's not going to keep up, and the last thing that comes out is garlic, and if it does, a big china garlic can grow。
I've been growing garlic for some years. I can't stand it every april. Let's talk about three jobs this month。
One: take care of the bottom root
Some people look at garlic in april, and the leaves are straight, and they feel like they're okay. In april, the worst fear was bad nutrition. If the leaves grow any better, if they don't keep up, the garlic will be dead. I've seen lots of places, leaves look good, roots are short and small, black, and they're not big when they come。
One thing to do in the first half of april is to have another root. It's not the water that makes you fat. Try to lighten the ground on both sides of the garlic with a little crotch, and don't hurt the roots. The ground is loose, the air can go in, the roots can grow good, and the new roots will go outside. It's a job that doesn't have to go deep. It's two or three centimeters. It's mostly the looseness of the ground。
It's time to refill the root water. Don't use urea. It's too strong. It's easy to burn roots and make leaves go crazy. And the way of the earth was to cast a small piece of grass and ash into a bucket of water for one night, and watered it with water above it the following day. Potassium ash is also sterile, and roots are absorbed to grow. If there is no grass-wood ash in the home, good fermented rice water can be used, but it must be fermented, and it is easy to burn the roots. How do you judge that? Scatter the cap in the plastic bottle, tan it in the sun for three or five days, and the bottle drums up, and it smells sour。
There's another way to make the soybeans we eat all the time, make them all night, boil them and bury them next to the garlic. The soybeans are good nitrogen fat when they rot, but unlike urea, they're slow to release, they don't burn roots, they're good for the land. It's a low-cost and effective approach。
Number two: water must be measured
By mid-april, garlic began to smoke out. It's a time when water can go wrong. There are many who look at the drought, and the water is pouring, and they hate it. It's not good。
At this point, water is to be poured and the topsoil is to be wet, and water cannot remain in the water. Garlic swelling requires breathing, water is empty in the earth, garlic is easily rotten and it is not very long. And it will be with our hands that we will scratch the earth two or three centimetres deep, and if it is dry, we will pour it, and if it is wet, we will wait a day or two。
There's a trick here, three days before the garlic. The three days were less watered and slightly dry. The water is so thick, it's so thin, it's broken and it's easy to pull out the garlic. When you're done with the garlic, don't rush to water, wait for a day and a half to heal the wound and pour it again. The water could not be saved, and the water could be fermented with soybean or potassium. It's time for garlic to be pumped away, it's empty, all the nutrients go to the garlic, it's fertilized, it's swelling all day。
It's not the same with different soil. The sand land cannot be stored, it needs to be watered less and not so much at a time. Sticky land is good and can be poured for days at a time, but not too hard, otherwise there is no air in the earth and garlic is prone to suffocation. This is based on the situation in one's own country and there is no uniform standard。
Number three: fat can't be misused
I've seen some people look at garlic leaves in april, panic and hurry up with nitrogen fat. And once fat, the leaves were green, black and garlic didn't grow up. The reason is that all the nutrients go up to the leaves. It's called the boom. The leaves grow too much and compete with garlic for nutrients, but the garlic is delayed。
Fertilisation in april, less nitrogen and more potassium. Nitrogen is too fat for garlic to grow meat. Potassium is garlic。
My dirt method is eggshell. And dry out the eggs, and crush them, and cast them in garlic in late april, and then sprout them, and cover them with thin ground. High levels of calcium and potassium in eggshells are slow to release without injury to roots. When garlic is absorbed, the skin is thick, porcelain, heavy, and it is not easy to crack. It is also convenient for eggshells to be crushed, with foot-stamped in a bag or with a crutches, not too thin, to break into small pieces. That's the old man's legacy, fatter than the leaves he bought。
If there's not enough eggshell in the house, you can use banana skin. The banana skin is also high with potassium, tanned and crushed, using the same method as egg shells. The skins from bananas are usually eaten, don't throw them, dry them up, they'll be used in april。
In addition, at the end of april and early may, if there were any weak or sick strains in the ground, they would be removed directly. It's a competition for nutrients. It's easy to get sick. How do you know if it's weak? The leaves are yellow, they are small, and they are different from the garlic trees. When it's pulled, the pit will be emptied. Pull out the weak, and the rest of the garlic is enough. This is how the land is grown sometimes。
After all, april is a balance. Water, fat, gas, nothing can pass. You have to learn to look at garlic. The leaves are so high, they have a slight sense of wax, that they grow well; the leaves have yellow hair and the plating down, that's what's missing. The earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth。
I don't know what to do with it. I've tried these in the field every year. You try it in april, and by may you'll have a big piece of garlic in your head. It's not luck. It's april. It's water。
