The soil should be porous and light, so you need to loosen the soil in the beds with garlic.

Watering and mulching

Garlic likes moist soil, but not an overabundance of moisture. And not to be watered every day, it is recommended zamulchirovat plant hay or straw with a thin layer of 2-3 cm. Before mulching you must be sure to loosen the bed of that there was no cover on top. Pour seedbed in aisles put straw or hay, spread evenly over the surface of the material.

Benefits of mulch

Moisture in this case is stored much longer, and the soil is protected from direct sunlight, which quickly dried the ground, and the crust is formed on its surface.

Moreover straw or hay in the decomposition of its resulting activity of microorganisms will enrich the soil humus and nutrients. The amount of irrigation will be reduced to 3-4 times a week, even on hot days.

And most important, first of all, it saves time and effort. You do not have to loosen aisle and watered every day.

The fill, feed winter spring garlic

Good dressing for winter garlic is ammonia or ammonia. This is not only a source of nitrogen, which is particularly important in the spring for increasing the green mass, but also a means by pests.

When the garlic has turned yellow, then it may be several reasons: night frosts, lack of nitrogen, the invasion of pests.

Flow rate of ammonia - 2 tbsp. tablespoons per 10 liters of water. Watered three times at intervals of 10 days. By the way, this dressing can be applied to the bow, it is well protected from the onion fly.

Because the spring is made of mineral fertilizers ammonium nitrate (20-25 grams per 1 m2, it can be made as soon as the snow melted) urea (Article 1. Spoon 10 liters of water).

Before any fertilizing the soil in the beds moisturize.

Nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the first phase of garlic - from germination until the sheet 6.

further feeding

The second phase of garlic - garlic is growth from 6 to 10 sheet. During this period, a bed can fertilize NPK (2 tbsp. tablespoons per 10 liters of water). And only 10 sheet garlic begins to actively increase the head (third phase). Therefore it is necessary to feed the plant, or phosphorus-potassium complex fertilizers.

For example, suitable superphosphate (2 tbsp. tablespoons per 10 liters of water) or potassium humate (replaces infusion mullein, if this is not available).

Also, a source of potassium and phosphorus is ash. It can simply scatter the garden beds or make ash solution (10 l of water diluted 1 glass ash).

From the organic fertilizer fed green (1 liter of solution 10 liters of water), chicken droppings in the ratio 1:20 with water and insist 12 days manure (1 to 10 and pushing week, stirring occasionally).

When the arrows and once they reach 10-15 cm, and should be removed (from the base to retreat 1 cm) to the garlic gave all their strength to increase the head in the ground.

By late summer, it can be seen the result of the size of heads of garlic - it will close.
