My secrets of growing and storing garlic (Voronezh)
SECRETS OF GROWING AND STORING LARGE GARLIC (PHOTO)
The place for planting garlic should be well plowed. The earth must be mixed with humus and ashes (from firewood). The depth of the cultivated land is about 5 cm. The land can be plowed up, and then dry humus (without lumps) and ashes can be mixed with hands. For 1 sq. m for 0 liters of water and 5 kg of humus.
Garlic loves the earth, which is rich in trace elements and organic matter.
I believe that garlic, which is planted before winter, has a high yield and good size.
Garlic beds should be done where there is abundant sun. You can not plant garlic in the shade. I plant garlic at a depth of 5 cm, you can’t go deeper.
I also advise you to soak the disassembled garlic cloves in slightly diluted potassium permanganate before planting (5 matchbox for 1 liters of water).
After planting the garlic in and, so that they do not scatter, the beds need to be “wrapped up” for the winter, then the leaves should be put dry branches in non-eat, sprinkled with a large amount of dry leaves.
It should be remembered that planting should not be late (for example, until mid-October), the garlic will not have time to take root and prepare for winter. It is best to remember about planting garlic in time.
If we talk about watering, then garlic does not need to be watered much, even if the weather is dry in summer.
In the summer, garlic gives arrows that need to be pulled out, because if this is not done, then there will be a bad harvest. For the whole summer, once a month, I water the garlic with diluted humus. In a bucket I dilute 1 liters of water and 5 kg of humus. Mix and leave to infuse for 5 week. After a week, you can water the garlic with this solution under the root: for 1 liters of water, 10 liter of humus (which has been infused).
As soon as the garlic is dug up, it is necessary to dry it, but not in the sun, but, on the contrary, in a ventilated place and in a shade or in a dark room (in a barn). The stalk of the garlic should be dry and the husk should peel off easily. It is good to hang the garlic on a kapron thread and hang to dry.
As soon as the garlic is completely dry, you need to cut it so that 3 m is left from the whole stem.
I store garlic in wire racks. I heard that some housewives store in sterilized jars. I tried, but it's completely wrong. It is stored in this case for 2 months and, believe me, it starts to rot.
Garlic in boxes I put under the table or under the bath. Which of the hostesses has the opportunity, then you can put it under the bed or in the pantry.
Once a month you need to sort out the garlic. If rot is found, then such garlic must be removed from the box. If you constantly touch it, then you can save all the garlic. And if this is not done, then it will be much less.
