The best time for garlic cultivation is usually in the autumn, when temperatures are appropriate and can provide good conditions for garlic growth. Autumn was chosen because garlic requires a period of low-temperature “spring” treatment in order to grow and develop rapidly in the spring. If you live in a warm area, you can also grow in the early spring。
It is important to understand the growth habits and needs of garlic before growing it. Garlic prefers a well-soiled environment, preferably rich in organic and well-watered sandy soils. Garlic is the most afraid of water accumulation, because extra moisture causes garlic to rot. When growing, you have to choose healthy garlic. Garlic should be complete and full, and there are no signs of pests or pests, because each is the starting point for the future growth of garlic。
During planting, the choice of good garlic is crucial. Split the garlic into a little garlic, and keep the link at the bottom, which helps to grow its roots. During planting, the garlic petals point up at a distance of about 10 to 15 centimetres and can be set at 20 to 25 centimetres, thus ensuring that they do not compete for sunlight and nutrients. After planting, the soil covers about 3 to 5 cm of garlic petals to protect them。
To help the garlic grow better, some practical suggestions may be considered. Keep the soil moist, but not too humid, and excessive moisture can be detrimental to the growth of garlic. Regular weeding is also necessary because weeds compete with garlic for nutrients. The timely application of fertilization increases the production of garlic, generally applying nitrogen fertilizer three to four weeks after planting and once in the early spring. Such practices ensure that your garlic grows better and brings joy to the harvest。
