Planting garlic with whole heads and strawberries - my reviews
MY WAY OF PLANTING GARLIC - WHOLE HEADS
About eight years ago, a friend from Nizhnevartovsk came to me and told me that her daughter was planting garlic with whole heads before winter. Like this?! After all, we are all used to single slices, but here - entirely!
We have no extra space, the vineyard takes up a lot, but I decided to try it. To begin with, I took only five heads and dug holes three heads of garlic deep 30 cm apart on a bed between two strips of strawberries.
I threw some sand on the bottom, planted it in each garlic of four or five cloves, sprinkled it with ashes, again with sand on top and then with earth, lightly tamped it down (I took the sand wet). And so along the entire aisle of strawberries, alternating heads with single teeth.
Summer care was common: weeding, loosening after rain, breaking the arrows. The garlic in a row was powerful, green, but until recently I could not believe that this was a sensible undertaking.
I noticed that the strawberries really liked this neighborhood - they were fresh, clean, without any misfortune.
As a result, four or five very large heads with large teeth grew under each garlic "bush" - it was hard to believe that this was a simple winter garlic! Of course, we liked this option: both space is saved and the harvest is pleasing. I think that the sand with ash helps, since I did not feed the plantings with anything other than herbal infusion.
So all these years we have been planting garlic over strawberries with whole large heads. Now without fear. We update it periodically, acquire new varieties, grow it from bulbs, and this is all ordinary winter garlic. This method has never failed! We grow strawberries in a four-year cycle, and always between its rows "bushes" of garlic grow.
And I also use this option: in a row, every 20 cm, I plant alternately garlic and tulip bulbs in the fall. With garlic and flowers rise, and how these assorted beauties will blossom - an indescribable beauty! I cut off the yellowed tulips, and then the expanse of garlic comes. And again beauty, the soul rejoices! Therefore, we are drawn to our 5 hectare, perhaps more than to the theater, because here we have man-made beauty everywhere!

I plant him like everyone else. Winter crops have grown large even last year. She removed it in time, but did not save it! As usual, I spread the selected garlic under the roof above the veranda (it always warmed up well there in July-August). Then I cut it and divided it into planting and food. And I kept thinking that it would be necessary to stretch cellophane over it to hide it from dampness.
Yes, I never got ready. The latter, by the way, chose the garlic that grew together with the strawberries. Delayed, of course, with the cleaning - his heads are already cracking. I took him home immediately. There he was well dried, and in winter there was only hope for him. Because the garlic left in the manor under the roof above the veranda has rotted from the humidity and cold. With difficulty, I set aside individual teeth for landing. The question for the future: is there any sense from such planting material? Or will it rot in the ground?
