What about garlic? From a piece of garlic to a full pot
Last fall, i buried some garlic with my hands in the bouquet. I didn't expect to eat my own garlic in winter, and a little garlic in spring. That sense of accomplishment is better than going to the market to buy a bunch of garlic. Actually, it's not as mysterious as it really is. It's one of the best vegetables. As long as you have some garlic, a little dirt, a container, you can start this interesting planting journey. The point is to figure out a few of its little tempers。
Picking the right time and garlic is half the success
The first step was wrong when many people failed. Garlic prefers cold environments and the best planting season is autumn (september-november) and early spring. Autumn garlic grows more full in the coming year as a result of cold springs. When you pick garlic, don't use the sprouted garlic in the supermarket, which is hard to grow. Go to the market and pick up a few full, hard, non-stereotyped purple or white garlics, peel them into garlic, feed them big and grow better. Remember not to hurt that hard chassis in the bottom, where it roots。
Plantation details: depth, orientation and spacing
Get ready to defrost the soil with a drain hole in the basin. When planted, the garlic petals head up, this is where the buds sprout; the flat floor, this is where the roots are. How deep? Remember, “deep, shallow”, about 2-3 centimetres of dust, too deep to get out, too shallow to fall back. The garlic is kept between 8 and 10 centimetres, giving them enough space to grow. When it's done, it's watered up and it's in the sun. In about a week or ten days, you will see the green sprouts come out of the earth, and the moment will be particularly curable。
Later management: watering, fatting and timing
Garlic is a “soft crop”, but not entirely. It is afraid of flooding, and the water-watering principle is “dry and wet”, and the earth's surface is drained and refilled to avoid the permanent roots of the soil. If you want to collect garlic, it can be followed every two to three weeks by thin organic or phosphate fertilizers, which can contribute to the increase of garlic. The harvest is phased: it wants garlic, which is about 20 centimetres tall; it wants garlic, which is then choked out when it is drawn out of the length of the tub; and it waits for a third of the leaves on the ground to turn yellow and down, when the garlic is the strongest and durable。
You see, the core of how garlic grows is to adapt to its growth patterns. It is not picky, but has a high rate of return. From a piece of garlic to a full plant, to a table-based spice, the whole process is alive. Now is the time to plant it in the fall. Try some garlic, a surprise from the dirt that really brightens a normal life。
