    I COVER THE GARLIC WITH MUSTARD

    Winter garlic is the most stable way to obtain a harvest. In 2023, I had it extremely adequate: without little things and giants, just as it should be. However, many suffer from Fusarium bottom blight on garlic. There is a proven method: plant the cloves on a bed of sand and/or vermiculite, as is usually done with tulips and lilies. Then the bulbs will be larger and cleaner, and the garlic will have little chance of getting sick.
    There are other rules against fusarium.
    We plant garlic on average a month before frost - in Siberia this is the end of September. We prepare a bed for garlic in advance: we add dolomite flour and potassium for deep digging.
    magnesia according to the norm for your soil, on average for chernozem soil with pH6 - this is 150 g of dolomite and 80 g of potassium magnesia. You can replace everything with 120-150 g of borophosphate.
    We sow mustard, which we pull out on the day of planting garlic. Mustard is the best biofumigator for soil.
    Before planting, soak the garlic cloves in the preparation “Healthy Earth”, “Fitosporin-M” or “Maxim”.
    We loosen the soil with a flat cutter to a planting depth of 8-10 cm. Then we plant the cloves and cover them with torn mustard.

    If winter garlic sprouted
    If the garlic planted before winter managed to germinate before frost, I mulch the beds abundantly with sawdust or straw. I cover it with spruce branches so that the mulch does not scatter and the snow lingers better. In the spring, as soon as the snow melts, I remove the shelter.
