The sister drips free fertilizer (no chemicals) into the hole under the cloves, and collects large garlic in baskets. Begged for a recipe

Fiery salute, fellow gardeners and sympathizers for all of them!

Do you want to grow a fertile harvest of winter garlic, excellent in terms of both quality and quantity? I propose to learn and try the method of my cousin from the Bryansk region, which has been collecting excellent results year after year!

"Why fertilize winter garlic in the fall, because it doesn't grow in winter?" - a natural question

Winter garlic is a special crop in terms of planting dates, so it has its own troubles":

• Timely, early rooting before the onset of typical Russian cold weather becomes an almost exact guarantee of the safety of the teeth.
• They begin to develop in early spring, as soon as the garden bed in our country house warms up enough. On the surface, growth is still imperceptible, while the process is in full swing inside the soil.

Therefore, it will be better if a light but useful fertilizer accompanies the planted cloves from the very beginning.

Secrets of good harvests of garlic: in the treasury of valuable knowledge

I can't help but write about the general tricks of growing garlic. After all, for example, if the cloves rot, any fertilizer will be useless. So that your efforts, comrades, do not go in vain, I will quickly list the points:

• I always I prepare the garden in advancedigging to the depth of the shovel. Weeds with roots - out of the soil, compost and humus - I bring in.
• Garlic is enough to take root and will not grow ahead of time, cloves planted 3 weeks before cold weather. May he save strength until spring! Better early than late.

• Garlic is planted in a high bed, where water does not stagnate in autumn and spring. Better put some coarse sand on the bottom of the hole, which will play the role of drainage and pass moisture further, to the bottom. It is water that is the main enemy of winter garlic in winter, and not frost at all.
• Planting garlic before winter is subject to the same rules as planting most bulbous crops. Optimal planting depth - tooth height multiplied by 3. I make holes 4-5 cm deep and press the clove a little into the ground.

If you are interested in the prescriptions of the lunar calendar, I will write: it is better to plant winter garlic on the Waning Moon. In October, this is the period from October 3 to October 15.

I will not torment: I am talking about liquid fertilizer for garlic according to the recipe "From my sister"

Recently I have already written an article about my own method of planting garlic: I put sand and wood ash in each hole. During the last conversation with my sister on the phone, a good half of which was devoted to discussing current gardening affairs, I told her the method too.

The sister noted that her method is similar, but she improved it. Remembering her enviable harvests, I persuaded Marina to tell everything in detail.

Marina also uses a valuable (and natural, environmentally friendly!) Fertilizer - wood ash. But prepared according to a special recipe. It remains in abundance after constant summer barbecue and autumn burning during the traditional gardening.

But. Marina prepares a very steep solution of wood ash:

The liquid fertilizer mixes with the soil, so the cloves sit in a nutritious, but natural environment for themselves.

The thick consistency of ash will not harm the plants and will help maintain nutrition until the long-awaited spring.

To prepare fertilizer, which must be dripped into a hole with winter garlic, it is worth taking water and ash in equal parts. Insist 3 days, stir and drip into each hole under the garlic. The result is great!
