Why and how to cover the garlic in the fall

Many inexperienced gardeners when planting winter garlic cloves believe that would be just enough to stick in the ground and go about their business to spring, and when the return will be seen not to say a big harvest, but the reality is very cruel, because few will survive the spring, and will take most of the frost.

In fact, it's not so bad, it would be enough to take care of the shelter and in the spring to enjoy a good harvest.

As I harbored

Immediately after planting, pour 4 cm. peat, it harbored a protective film, stretch it and put on the edges of small pebbles to avoid being blown away by the wind.
After some time, if the cold intensified, the top of the film stack leaves (they can also be replaced with sawdust or pine needles) 2-3 cm.
As the snow falls, it can be laid on top of the leaves and then just freezing, moisture and pests, some are left in the soil in the winter does not bother your garlic.

Separately materials also can be placed, but it is desirable to combine them to a winter coped as much garlic as possible.

With the onset of spring, all the shelter must be removed so that it does not interfere with the garlic in a period of growth.
