It is time to properly prepare the seedbed for winter garlic to a good crop grown on it

Trouble to fall and collected in the summer - the motto of winter garlic lovers. The harvest will not be disappointed if in September to prepare the seedbed and in time to plant cloves. About planting period I have already written an article on the channel, and today will work with the earth.

Selecting a location

The first step is to find the area a worthy place.

Special requirements to it is not the main thing to bed for the winter garlic was not in the shade and not in the valley. Because the spring there will accumulate water, the sun is not normal to dry land and garlic it would be not very good.

It is better to choose a sunny hill or valley. Although the temperate semi-shade, as shown, for the next year grow excellent garlic.

Therefore do not worry, if the bed is a few pritenit branches of trees or bushes. And can be planted near the fence, so that direct sun dropped in the morning or evening.

A word of advice: Making a bed, pay attention to its location relative to the sides of the world. Optimally, the ranks of garlic grown from north to south, so the plants will be illuminated by the sun throughout the day.

Work with land

Perhaps the most important step. Garlic is great to grow and give a bountiful harvest if in the beginning of September to prepare a bed properly.

First, dig over the ground. Without fanaticism, a depth of 25 is sufficient. Select the roots of weeds, so the garlic does not hurt anything. Soil to ensure future landing adequate nutrition:

• + superphosphate Potassium sulfate (and other suitable phosphorus / potash fertilizer);
• folk alternative - wood ash, which also deoxidize the soil, if necessary;
• you can mix the ground with humus / compost to increase the fertility of the future.

To the soil was breathable (and this is the main prevention of all sorts of rot!), Can be admixed sand. This is especially useful on heavy land.

Form a flower bed

Not very important dimensions of the beds, although the recommendations in the literature do require a width of 1 m and a height of 25 cm. The main thing is to do it in advance, about the end of August and early September. It is necessary to land before planting cloves had time to settle.

CouncilIf dry September, shed a bed several times. Since the soil settles properly.

Why is it necessary at all? Imagine you have planted the garlic immediately to fresh flower bed. During the winter and spring, the land still has settled, but it dragged on the depth and cloves. Rise they will be much longer than when landing on a flower bed, prepared to finish.

better perebdet

Treat the earth, to no more pathogens in it. First of all we are interested in the fight against fungi. Therefore spill bed of something from the list:

• copper sulfate solution with a concentration of 1%;
• "Fitosporin";
• good old solution of potassium permanganate.

For 35-45 days before the onset of frost-resistant can be planted garlic for the winter.
