Garlic - spring or winter.

Benefits of planting under the winter
It is believed that garlic needs to be planted exclusively under the winter. In this, of course, there is its own reason - rapid growth and ripening, high yield, however, with the storage of winter garlic often arise difficulties. Maybe therefore supporters of the Spring Planting becomes every year more?
It has long been noticed that winter garlic matures faster and its yield is higher than that of spring.
And for several years already planted only under the winter - just in September. I recently broke down one parquet board at the cottage in the recreation room, it would be possible to upset, but there were possesses, I spent more time at the garden and experimented with my plants.
But first things first:
Winter garlic loves loose, fertile land. Therefore, the flow of the bed with the addition of humus (1 bucket of 0.5 square meters. M of the earth). The landing is made in the third decade of September, so that he manage to root to frosts.
I take a round wand with a diameter of a little more garlic teeth, I make a mark on it at an altitude of 10 cm and deepen into the ground to her. In the ones formed pits a little ash or chalk, then lowered the clove of garlic and fall asleep the earth. So
The back is on one depth. The distance between the rows is kept so that it is convenient to loosen during the vegetation of the best overlooking the beds fall asleep mulley. Garlic on a flatulent moon.
Spring garlic after snowing snow feeding dry urea and shallow loose ground. After two weeks, I water superphosphate, then garlic does not shine.
In the hot, dry weather is cutting, but unlike other crops cold, almost icy water.
Watering stops a month before cleaning, so that it was better stored. The winter garlic arrows remove. It increases the crop, but
I leave the pieces 2-3 as a signal. Burnt, bull bulls will indicate the cleaning time of garlic. Unfortunate, as the perishadled garlic is poorly stored. Shooting garlic, too, on a decreasing moon, in the same signs of the zodiac, in which it was planted. I do it in dry clear weather and fold the harvest under a canopy for drying. The leaves do not cut - due to the outflow of nutrients, the quality of garlic is improved. After drying, we cut the leaves, and I cleanse the roots from the remnants of the earth. I dry at home.
Part of garlic storage in a glass jar, and a part in the refrigerator.
Yarova - more reliable!
Quite often, you can hear the merchants of some gardens on the fact that winter garlic is poorly stored. At the root, change the position for the better can be only if you start the spring garlic. He is kept better and on

the taste is much more tender, and the type of trade retains until the spring landing. I have long been growing spring garlic, so I can share the accumulated experience in cultivation.
The soil under spring garlic begins to cook from autumn. For this, the beds, freed from under the cucumbers, can be empty Il and Ka Rtoofel, I'm leaving, without breaking comers. Under the step I put on 1 square meter. m floor bucket humus or compost. Garlic is very responsive to mineral fertilizers, but I am going under the hoe in spring time. By 1 square. M give three glasses of wood ash, which not only neutralizes the acidic soil, but also contains almost all the basic batteries necessary for plants.
Bedding 1-1.2 m shape in early April, without waiting until the earth will dry up and then
Under the stretched twine in four lines, the teeth land according to the scheme 20 × 5 or 25 × 8 cm. With such a planting and plants are well lit, and it is convenient to work with a roof. For landing, only the outer teeth are taken. From the inner, small bulbs or one-towns are obtained.
Separating the bulbs on the teeth only on the day of planting. Before you soak them for half an hour in a strong mortar solution and landing garlic, focusing on the lunar calendar, somewhere in mid-April. The sealing depth of the teeth is 2-3 cm. After that, the board sealing the soil and slightly mulch peat or humus.
Shoots feed the infusion of a cowboy (1: 5) by adding a half of the ash on the bucket. After 2-3 weeks, it feeds again, but not later than at the end of June, so that this feeder does not affect the ripening of garlic. After the rains and irrigate the soil necessarily loyaded. During the summer I do it 4-5 times. I clean the spring garlic at the end of August when the bottom leaves will be lit. After how the roots and stem are dry, clean the contaminated top scales and braid garlic in braids for 25-30 pcs. The largest heads are taken by seeds.
