Garlic has always been in honor of the gardeners as one of the favorite spices. Garlic is good both in fresh form and dried. It is added to marinades, pickles and other conservation. Harvesting begins with the middle of the summer, when the peel becomes dry. Heads after collecting dried and put on storage. Most newcomers and even experienced gardens there will be a lot of questions when it is best to plant garlic and how to do it right.
It depends on the landing of garlic and the collection time. Therefore, it is so important to choose the optimal time and comply with all the recommendations. Let's start with the most important thing - the preparation of the soil.
Soil preparation for garlic landing
Garlic is the garden culture that can be placed in the ground 2 times a year. Good yield should be expected from winter landing - when you plant a spicy culture in late autumn.
Most of the experienced gardens just do that, because high yield will be only in winter garlic. If you failed to put it in the fall, you still have a chance to make it early in spring. Of course, the spring crop of garlic differs from winter. But this is not the main thing, because with the onset of spring you will have a lot of work on the garden, and the time, as always, everything is missing. That is why it is desirable not to postpone this part of the work at the spring time, and the best thing to plant garlic in the fall is best.
The groove under the subset is best prepared in advance. For autumn landing of garlic, it is necessary to prepare the soil at the end of August. Approximately 1.5 months before landing.
Since garlic loves organic bait, you can not feel sorry for fertilizers. On 1m 2 It is allowed to make 1 bucket of humus or compost. In addition, it is allowed to contribute to the soil and minudging, and with the onset of heat - nitrogen. You can add peat, loam or sand.
Crowning plays a big role in the preparation of the site. If you choose a place for selected garlic where there were previously grew, then a rich harvest is not waiting. In addition, garlic can get sick fusariasis.
Excellent preceding cultures - zucchini, pumpkin and legumes. But remember that next door to bob garlic will not be very good. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that every year for the same place garlic cannot be planted - there will be no good crop.
Before boarding, you need to prepare the soil: treat the ground with salt solution. On 1 bucket of water (only warm), you need to take 1 glass of salt (preferably large). Pre-salt must be dissolved well in water and water the beds in this solution. Such watering will help get rid of pests. Salted water at the same time sprinkle carrots and onions.
For the landing of garlic in the autumn period, choose only strong and healthy teeth. If there is at least one threatened in the head, put it aside - such a cheek will come in handy for use in food.
It is undesirable to plant a bulby plant in places flocheted by manure to avoid severe green mass. As a result, the head will be loose and not strong, and green shoots on the contrary - chic.
Choose a piece of garlic landing not in a half, but in the open area so that it is well lit. A rare landing of this garden culture can be carried out in half.
The width of the Garlic Garlic - within a meter, the direction is Western or East.
It is advisable to populate the soil in advance (forks by 20 cm), select all weeds and small roots. To enrich the soil, you can make compost and fertilizer. Well suited for growing garlic wood ash.
What best to plant garlic?
Common variety for winter landing - purple with stripes. Such a variety is resistant to frosts, it is unpretentious and is kept for a long time (within 9 months). If it is competent to update the bulbs (every 3 years), then you can achieve stunning results - garlic will please you with excellent harvest to 150 g!
For landing, the material is best to buy in the local market. You need the garlic that is grown within your country area (50 km radius). When buying, choose the best garlic, large, not damaged and without spots.
Pay attention to the bottom of garlic - if you see a smooth smooth cut, such a garlic is not suitable for landing. Choose heads with roots.
When going to plant garlic, you need to prepare it in advance. To do this, disassemble the head on the teeth, choosing only large and healthy. For a non-strain grade of garlic, you need to choose teeth located in the outer tier and only large.
After the seating material is prepared, soak garlic in a solution of manganese or prepare a copper vigor (10 liters of water take 1 tbsp. Means). Let garlic lie in such a solution of 24 hours. After soaking, it is important to dry the teeth well.
Optimal temperature for landing +10 oS. For the middle strip of Russia, the landing of garlic can be started at the end of September. For southern regions - at the end of October. Why is it important to comply with temperature? Garlic need to have time to root.
Many experienced gardeners are confident that it is impossible to make germination after planting green shoots so that the plant does not spend nutrients in front of the cold. But in practice it turned out that this does not affect the future harvest, the sprouted cloves also give good shoots with the onset of heat.
Landing of winter garlic
To collect a good harvest of garlic, you need to know how to plant garlic correctly. Let's deal with more about this issue.
Garlic landing rules:
- We make shallow grooves, rudely watering the ground with water.
- We make recesses by 6-8 cm.
- Distance between rows - 20-25 cm.
- We take garlic teeth and insert into the soil vertically, the bottom down. To put the cloves on the side can not, they may not exist.
- If the teeth are small, then the distance between each should be up to 5 cm, for large, we retire more space - from 5 to 7 cm.
- To make it more convenient to make fertilizers, leave the distance between rows 20 cm.
- Garlic's cloves are forbidden to push and screw in the ground, otherwise, when they will germinate, then the roots themselves pushed the garlic. As a result, you will have a head with very small cloths.
- After you planted garlic, the soil must be dissolved and putting sawdust or peat. Firing fabric is allowed.
- In arid autumn, the culture must be watered as often as possible at least every 5 days.
A good crop of garlic when there is a lot of snow on the bed, so do not be lazy to plunge the snow in the place where your garlic is planted. Distribution of snow will help unfolded twigs. Mulch and branches with spring onset must be removed.
You can grow a garden culture in one place for no more than 2 years in a row, then the place must be changed. It is important because every year garlic will become more weaker, and the heads will be small.
It is important that before landing you traced and freed the cloves from the bottom. Delicate the slices on 5-7 cm. However, if you did not have time to plant garlic on time, it is allowed to burst out lobes to protect them from frosts.

How to plant garlic in the spring
It is possible to plant garlic in the spring, if you did not have time to put this culture in the fall. Such garlic is distinguished by durability. Shelf life - 1-2 years. But it must be borne in mind that the crop will not be so abundant.
Spring culture is planted very early when the temperature of the soil barely warms up to +5 oC. Landing time: The end of March - mid-April.
Before starting to land, it is necessary to prepare the soil: to switch the bed to the bayonet shovel and to dissolve the ground with robbles. It is important that there are small sides on the sides in the sides - so the whole moisture for garlic will be stored in the soil. Before planting garlic cloves, it is necessary to abundantly pour the soil with a strong salt solution (proportions: 10 liters of water 3 tbsp. Large salt).
On the same place the 2nd time it is impossible to plant garlic. Bad predecessors for garlic - bow, potatoes.
For planting, choose healthy heads with strong cloths. The head needs to be divided to choose the best slices.
For landings, prepare the grooves, the distance between the rows is 25 cm. The cloves must be put into the soil to the depth of no more than 3-5 cm. The step between slices - 10 cm. The tips should be above the ground.
Garlic Pose a snitch to the ground (the party where the teeth are attached to each other).
You need to close the ground and trigger with sawdust. You can sprinkle with sand. By the way, try such an interesting decision when landing: put garlic in each prepared hole and immediately pour 1 tbsp. Sand. You can do it into an empty hole, and then add some little sand when the slices will be planted. Any bulbous cultures are not transferred when water flows on them. Sand just will be isolated on the bulb from moisture.
After planting, the spring garlic is not covered with film, because it is resistant to frost.
As you can see, planting in the fall and in the spring is practically no different. The only thing that can be done is to complete the spring garlic in a wet fabric and hold 3 days. During this time, the roots will appear. In addition, with a spring landing, watering is obligatory, especially in the first month after landing.
Collect garlic needed when the leaves will turn yellow. From the Earth, the culture is pulled carefully and put on the bed to dry the heads. The leaves are dried, and the nutrients will return back to the bulb.
The correct approach - after harvesting, the garlic is collected in a bundle, tie and suspended on drying in the shaded cool place (the attic is suitable). Dry garlic can be folded into linen bags and suspend for long-term storage.

Methods of landing garlic
The traditional way of planting garlic we looked at. We offer a creative option that is popular with experienced gardens.
For landing you need a metal pipe of a suitable diameter. You do not need to do the groove, just pressing in the place where you plan to plant a piece of garlic pipe to get a hole. Pour ash inside the wells, and then lower the teeth. Top putting the earth and cover with reworked manure.
If there is a desire, you can improve the appliance for landing garlic and welcome to the pipe cross-step. When you go along the bed along the bed, insert the tube to the ground and press on the transverse stage with the foot - it turns out a deepening. It will only be advanced further, withsting a certain distance between the cloves (within 10 cm). To the resulting holes put on a cloth of garlic and fall asleep soil.
How to care for garlic
Caring for garlic is not complicated - it is necessary to moisten the soil on time, ride from weeds, loosen the earth. It is also important to protect the plant from diseases and pests.
Approximately by the end of June garlic produces arrows. It is desirable to collect them in time so that they do not stretch. If the plant "gone" into the arrow, then the bulb will be small.
It is undesirable to allow and peeling garlic, because then the flakes will be revealed, and the heads to crumble. It is impossible to store such a garlic.
If you discovered yellow leaves, or if they began to disappear, then this does not mean that the plant is ill, it is necessary to water the soil more often.
Fusariosis is a common disease of garlic. If the leaves began to turn yellow and a whitish flare appeared on them, it means that the garlic is amazed by fungus. Eating infected garlic is impossible - it is dangerous to health.
