What to do with garlic arrows

Garlic hands, what to do with them? More precisely how to remove them, pull or snap off. Logically, you can explain that another way, but I want to know which is better, more correct.

peduncle

Spike - in common garlic hand, so they are to be removed still in the process of formation. Planting garlic, vacationers expect to get big heads harvest, not a good seed. That will happen if you leave the arrows, the plant will give all forces and juices in the seeds that will mature in the peduncle.

If acut

When cutting with scissors or with arrow truncation, it again will continue to grow and consume the nutrients from the plant. This is especially noticeable if you collect young hands, they grow a week longer. So cut the arrows after they curl up into a ring.

just pull

Experienced gardeners are advised to draw arrows. Although this is not difficult, but the first time turns out not at all, you need to be accustomed. Take the arrow at the bottom (near the stem), and gently pull straight up, to the side is impossible - it would break.

nodule to start up

And do not worry about that now stalk garlic and polyazhet empty after the first strong wind or heavy rain. It will not hurt the head of garlic, on the contrary it will be juicier and bigger. 7 days after the removal of the arrow tie the tops of garlic in a knot, it will provide maximum flow of nutrients to the underground part of the plant.

It's time to dig

To determine the timing of the harvest, leave a couple of arrows and watch them. When the arrow is fully ripen and unfold - then head of garlic is ripe and it is time to dig up the crop, but if you leave the head in the ground, then they will become loose and fall apart.
