Winter garlic in the Moscow region - planting and care

garlic in the Moscow region, planting and care

Beams and advertising braids

Winter garlic in its biology is similar ... to tulips. The mother bulb disappears, forming a daughter. The most promising varieties with a small number of large cloves in the bulb. They are more often 4, less often 6. In skinny soils, 1-2 large daughter teeth develop. Low-graded varieties are rare. For example, Otradnensky (white).

Most varieties are always divided into 6 daughter teeth. Their onion on skinny soils can be quite shallow, and their teeth are negligible. It creates the illusion that the variety is degenerating. In addition, multi-tooth varieties are less vigorous. So you should look for and breed winter garlic of the first variety.

Winter garlic is perfectly stored indoors until 1 May. With this preserved garlic, when the crops are frozen, in case of frosts or when they are flooded with melt water, you can populate the garden bed in April, keeping your favorite variety.

However, during the spring planting of winter garlic, the flower bud will stay in development for two months. The apex tooth gives the same bulb to 100 g, but in September, the April garlic is torn out, the hands are taken to the teeth and again put under the winter. The next year the teeth develop and divide in the usual way.

Timely cleaning of a good grade is necessary in the phase of a bursting cap on pseudostem bulbs. However, garlic bulbs with retained peduncles (arrows) are always 30% smaller. Arrows need to break out on June 15. Only a couple of beacons with bulbs are left in the garden. The remaining arrows break out with your hands while they are soft. They can be cut and frozen for cabbage soup and borsch. The signal for garlic harvesting is a straightened arrow - garlic “votes” for the harvest.

Dry leaves are a conditional concept. But the binding of garlic leaves into bunches is not some kind of prejudice there, but a real need. Shelter of the wound prevents infection of the broken arrow with caterpillars of the crypto-onion onion. But the binding of garlic into braids is just a clever advertising move for wholesale.

Cleaning, storage, planting of winter garlic

Harvesting garlic in the suburbs falls on the last week of July. Immediately after pulling (or you-hammer fork), the bulbs are cut from two sides with a secate on the hemp 1 cm. Immediately disinfect in dense pink solution of potassium permanganate, washing off all the dirt. On the scales of bulbs should be without gaps: the broken garlic rot. I remove the tattered slippery wrapper. Such bulbs go to the kitchen first.

Sush the garlic in an unheated dry place, laying it in one layer on newspapers or fabrics. Sun drying hurts. Before freezing, we transfer it to a heated room, where we store in a closet in any clean ventilated container in bulk until the beginning of May.

For the landing pads from 21 September for 5 October, select the bulbs with the largest teeth. Such an annual artificial selection leads to an improvement in the commercial qualities of the variety. When a small tooth is chosen for planting, the variety degrades. The teeth from the head before planting are broken by hands or with the help of a plastic knife.

It is impossible to break the integumentary scales of the tooth - it will rot. Timely planted garlic has time to take root in a month, but never germinates in the winter.

Shelter for garlic

Many cover garlic with spruce branches. Vain work! Shelter is actually in demand once every 20 years - in frosts below -33 °. Winter garlic loves to eat and drink, but when it zamyvaetsya vypryvaet. Therefore, the teeth are planted on the beds raised by 10-15 cm.

For the beds choose a sunny place. Garden land is made up of equal parts of lowland peat (rp 6,7), sand, loam and manure. The best garden soil for all crops is pure compost, they cannot be overfertilized!

Fertilizers for garlic in the middle band

In connection with the inevitable shortage of minerals and trace elements in plants of the Middle belt, grown on podzolic soils, it is necessary to make mineral fertilizers. In the garden twice a year in autumn and spring are applied according to 20 ml / m2 (matchbox) full mineral fertilizer (azofosca and trace elements). To avoid chlorosis of leaves in April, winter garlic is sprinkled on shoots without sealing with urea, also a matchbox. This operation can be combined with watering or rain.

Planting garlic

I recommend the densest planting of cloves of winter garlic without prejudice to development according to the scheme 12,5 × 12,5 cm (i.e. 49 pieces per 1 sq. M), like gladioli. Depth of planting - how fingers are pressed in (about 5 cm).

You can propagate garlic seeds from the bulb. Commodity odontology without transplantation develops on the 2nd-3rd year. I recommend a winter sowing scheme for seeds of 6 × 12,5 cm. By the way, a single tooth selected from the ground is stored better - it can be eaten until the new crop.

In the rotation for winter garlic every fall in the digging, I advise you to make manure-rye-1 l / m2 or compost - 2 l / m2. Do not forget about mineral fertilizers according to the specified scheme of application.

In addition, to increase the yield of winter garlic, I also recommend adding 20 ml / m2 full mineral fertilizer after each weeding, 1 June and 1 July. I do not shut up.

Subject to the proposed technology, I grow bulbs weighing up to 100 g, and an average of 85 g. Winter garlic is the most cost-effective crop. Yes, and work is done for disabled pensioners - not like strawberries!

    Proper nutrition for garlic
    Neighbors in the country often complained that the leaves on garlic they quickly turn yellow, and the heads grow small. But my tips helped them to get rich harvests.
    Much depends on soil fertility and top dressing. Most often, garlic leaves turn yellow from a lack of nitrogen. Therefore, after appropriate feeding, the situation changes rapidly. But the future crop is planted much earlier - when planting. If it’s a warm autumn, I’m not in a hurry to drop off and transfer the work to mid-October.
    In a dug in front of the garden I put in a bucket of compost or humus for 1 sq. M. m. The overgrown organics is a major bulb. Also I deposit 200 g of ash and 2 st. l. double superphosphate. Instead of ash, you can add 1 art. l. potassium salt. I mix all this with a spatula.
    The cloves of garlic are powdered with bone meal and I plant them on a fertile patch. In spring, after melting snow, I scatter bone meal along the garlic plantations. It will enrich the bed with nitrogen, and the leaves will be large and rich green. Instead of bone meal you can use urea (1 spoonfuls per 10 L of water). From the end of spring to the middle of July 2-3 times I make dry fertilizing. Before watering pour under the plants for 10 g complex fertilizer at 1 square. m.
