Instead of large heads - one small thing: 3 main mistakes in growing garlic that even experienced gardeners make
Growing garlic may seem like a simple task at first glance.
However, some nuances can lead to a poor harvest, or even deprive you of it altogether.
Let's figure out what could have gone wrong and why, instead of large heads, we got garlic the size of a pigeon's egg.
Mistakes when growing garlic
The first and one of the main mistakes that even experienced gardeners make from time to time is shoddy work with planting material.
Many people do this: they select large and beautiful heads for food, leaving small ones for planting. But this is actually natural: they planted small ones - they got small ones at the exit, and vice versa.
The second mistake is to return the crop to the same place where it grew last year. In fact, it is recommended to plant garlic in the previous place no earlier than after four years.
The third drawback is insufficient watering, and we are not talking about the summer heat. If the garlic does not receive enough moisture at the beginning of the season, it will not have time to form large heads by the time of harvesting.
Earlier we wrote about how to feed winter garlic in the spring.
