My abstruse way of planting garlic before winter

It would seem that from the good deed goes unpunished, I have a good garlic is obtained. Here's a seed of its own production in the year:

However, we always want to be even better. Therefore, for a long time to look closely to an interesting way of planting garlic to the results. With something has been agreed with a bang, something considered superfluous. So, I will describe how to plant this year.

A bit of theory

In normal landing in later periods to a depth "3 cloves", the following occurs:

• If after planting garlic will not have time to take root, it will not survive frost
• If it is too hot, will start to grow actively tops, not the roots
• There are problems such as the shortage of moisture (not take root) and an excess (damping-off).

Oh how I miss those problems

This year, the landing took place at the October 3, warm sunny day. Could be planted in the past, I did not have time. The maximum time before the cold - 45 days, a minimum of 21 days.

The closer to the theoretical frost, the less depth of embedment of garlic. I plant to a depth of 15 cm. I read about the successful landing of the experience as much as 25 cm. I do not know what was on the ground like that. So deeply I would not venture, and 15 - optimally.

In order to avoid diseases, chosen for planting new ground. More precisely, it was digging clay from the pit under the cellar. She lay spring and summer under the hay. Pretty black.

The fact that our clay is very nutritious, I was convinced at the first flower garden. There raged flowers and fragrance.

Sly watering

In a bed he made a shallow furrow. It turned groove 4 and ridge 3.

Land was quite dry, despite recent rains. Strictly furrow long hose ice water 2 ° C (we downhole such temperature always).

Water is definitely needed, but! Soot and dirt will be Prince - Wrong saying. Without oxygen, you can not live garlic. Therefore, such a cunning watering. Planted in the ridges, there are garlic and humid, and the lack of oxygen.

During these grooves will make the ashes later. As long as we have it over. In spring all equal, the ridges will not. Alternatively, you can make phosphate and potash fertilizers per square meter to pour into these same furrow.

garlic vernalization

A couple of hours teeth lie on the sun. Then I planted them at once.

Nothing processed. Because healthy planting material, clay garlic diseases of hay could not be infected.

Unusual role Chopper

Chopper we have successfully broken. The tip of the shaft turned sharp, just holes, 15 cm deep, making convenient, on the length of the fracture.

First row of holes made, it was not very convenient. Not to forget where to put the clove, it was necessary to shift the stick. Then he found a better solution: teeth laid out along the ridge and began to do so: the hole - tooth in her hole - a clove in it faster and do not need to use memory.

Cloves slightly pushed forward between two fingers. If the shaft was more in diameter, it would be necessary to push. Then pull up a hoe land from the furrows.

The advantage of this particular landing

• Before frost at this depth it is cold enough, like garlic low temperatures and frosts did not immediately reach. More time for rooting.
• Most of the pathogens located in the upper layers of the soil, when digging, finding themselves at the bottom, they die. By useful biota is also true. She is the victim.
• The water in the lower layers of the soil longer delayed, moisture garlic respects at the stage of development and growth.

Conventional beds I have not dug up, take care of biota by a hay-mulch. Fertilize now decided to also hay. Plus ash it from me does not happen much. Spring be added Flora S.
