I will move the calendar ...

One of the most important moments in the art of planting winter garlic - to choose a suitable date. Growers on their gardens are 2 ways to practice the depth of planting, in which the terms of termination cloves into the soil significantly different:

1. The most common option - from 3 to 5 cm in depth landing. The "standard method" pay attention to the long-term weather forecast: before the first frost should stay about 2-3 weeks.

Of course, the nature of love is presented to us, gardeners, surprises - without it anywhere! Therefore, we can focus on the general terms: in central Russia - the end of September and the first decade of October, more than the southern regions - November. The main thing is to not garlic feathers began to grow before the frost - or low temperatures will destroy them!

2. Some growers like to plant winter garlic deeper - 10-15 cm. Plus a landing - a thick layer of soil to protect teeth from severe frosts. Therefore, the method is suitable for the inhabitants of the middle band and the more northern regions. And in terms of more than loyal - the last week of the summer until mid-October! Exactly have time :)

Whichever method you choose, try to comply with the general rules of planting winter garlic. About them - on!

What goes around comes around!

Heed choice of cloves. They should be strong, with no signs of rot, dry and mechanical damage. Otherwise, through the cracks penetrate into the bacteria, which can destroy the planting material.

For the prevention of fungal and bacterial diseases of garlic I recommend making preventive treatment. For example, you can use:

• weak solution potassium permanganate. Dip it kinks at 3 minutes.
• Solution copper sulfate. Means Recipe - 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water (standard bucket). In it enough garlic to keep only 1 minute.
• Folk remedy - saline. Take 2 tablespoons of salt in 1 liter of water, stir thoroughly. Keep garlic solution for 3 minutes.

It remains thoroughly dried cloves. Such simple measures reduce the risk of infectious diseases of garlic by 80%! Not bad, right?

soil preparation

For beds with garlic, choose a sunny spot at which the fall and spring water does not stagnate. When designing a planting is recommended to place the ranks so that they stretched from north to south, so planting will best be illuminated by the sun! Garlic likes fertile soil with a neutral acid-alkaline balance and low acidity.

After that, you can not plant garlic: radishes, carrots, onions, spring garlic, fresh herbs. They have common pests and pathogens! After everything else - you can;)

Work with land for planting winter garlic takes place in 5 steps:

1. remove weeds.

2. decontaminate. Here I use a solution of copper sulphate, which has already been mentioned in the article. At 1 standard bed of (I about 4 square meters) I take 10 l of water and breed there 40 g. To put it simply, 1 tablespoon. Just I shed all the way from the watering can.

3. fertilize. I've met a lot of different options. I'll tell you about the 3 most effective. Firstly, you can add humus. Organic-rich micro- and macro! Secondly, another natural fertilizer - wood ash. She can "powder" wells under garlic or simply spread over the entire area of ​​the surface of the beds. Third Embodiment - mineral "cocktail" 1 tablespoon of superphosphate and 2 tablespoons of potassium sulfate spoon spill on the ground. After the application of fertilizers to dig the bed of about 20 cm!

4. Form a flower bed. Optimal parameters - width of 1 m and a height of 25 cm. Length - how much is enough garden)) It is desirable that the edges of the beds were firm, not falling apart. Seal them or melt water landing razed to the ground in the truest sense of the word! And we need to garlic rotted in the moisture, so the figures are not from the ceiling.

5. We are waiting for shrinkage. Therefore recommend a bed prepared in advance: for a week or two earth settles. It may be necessary to correct a bed. If the rain was quite a bit - some times pour it, and soil level drops.

Another useful tip: the day before landing you can sprinkle ground urea. The rate of application - 10 g per 1 square meter. Then you need a bed abundantly watered.

The most important thing - landing
