The planting time for growing garlic seedlings at home needs to be based on the local climatic conditions. Now planting is possible, a kind of aquatic garlic seedlings in containers, a kind of green garlic cultivated in the open ground. In general, if a large area is planted, the south is usually around the middle of August, the north to be a little later, is in the second half of August to the second half of September for sowing.

A, home indoor green garlic cultivation

Green garlic can be cultivated indoors, especially now, the home has the garlic buds, just can be used for planting, can be used as ornamental potted plants, but also can be used as a condiment. Green garlic for the temperature requirements are indoor temperature of 10 ~ 20 ℃ is on, for the light requirements are a little light can be, green garlic can grow normally.

The specific cultivation method is to use discarded wooden box or pots filled with sandy soil, scrape the surface of the soil and water thoroughly, wait until the water seeps down, put the garlic and cover the soil, basically does not need to manage, as long as to maintain adequate moisture on it, suitable for the light on it, with this method of cultivation can be cut at any time as needed, planted once can be harvested many times. One thing to remind, if it is pure hydroponics, pay attention not to flood too much, change the water diligently, to prevent an unpleasant garlic odor.

Two, green garlic open field cultivation techniques

1, choose a good variety

need to choose the dormant period is relatively short, seedling is relatively fast, in the seedling phase of the growth of relatively fast, it is thick and long pseudostem, leaf lush, mainly yellow tip light varieties. Usually choose extra-small garlic cloves, like white-skinned garlic, purple-skinned garlic.

2, land selection and land preparation

The adaptability of green garlic is relatively strong, it is not very high on the soil requirements, a variety of soils can be planted, the plot requirements are very casual. In particular, the cultivation of green garlic, in general, does not need to be fertilized, because its growth needs the main material is still from the mother cloves. However, in the open field cultivation process, due to the growing period of green garlic is relatively long, in order to let the green garlic can maintain the fresh taste, in the preparation of the land needs to be applied to the farmyard manure as a base fertilizer. Usually, before sowing, each mu of land should be spread with well-rotted and sifted compost or stable fertilizer, the application rate is about 3000 kg. The width of the bed should be 1.7 meters, and the planting should be done in front of the windbreak. If you choose to protect the cultivation of beds can be made according to the actual situation of the land.

3, fine sowing

Sowing period has been said above, it is recommended not to carry out a one-time sowing, can be sown in stages, which is conducive to batch marketing. Need to be in the bed inside the first ditch, the standard to width is 13 centimeters, depth is 3 to 4 centimeters, ditch spacing is 33 to 40 centimeters. Then the garlic cloves are neatly placed in the furrow, each furrow can be planted 2 rows, the recommended spacing is 4 ~ 5 cm as the standard, or according to each furrow planting a row, the recommended spacing is 4 ~ 5 cm, row spacing is 17 ~ 20 cm. This acre of land can be about 150 to 250 kilograms of garlic seeds, note that after sowing to mulch 1.5 centimeters thick, the standard is that the garlic cloves can be completely covered, and step on the foot is really, so that the garlic seeds and the soil can be in close contact with, and then irrigation, which is conducive to emergence of the seedling.

In order to ensure that the garlic seeds can be timely and smooth germination, it is recommended that before sowing the garlic seeds with water to soak in water for 6 to 10 hours. Handling has been rooted garlic note to use a wet cloth to cover the garlic seeds, to avoid the garlic seeds by strong sun exposure, while planting the attention not to hurt the roots. There is also the mother clove is best according to the size of the classification, according to the level of good sowing, this is conducive to the management of green garlic in the seedling, but also conducive to the batch listing.

4, technical management

After sowing to the green garlic before the seedlings, finished a number of watering, watering is recommended to be a small watering, which can keep the soil moist, but also reduce the low temperature to promote the garlic seedlings can be early roots and early emergence.

Garlic seedlings out after the need to follow the water after a fertilizer, urea is 10 kg, to promote the growth of seedlings. Before the harvest can be chased 1 time fast-acting nitrogen fertilizer, this is to improve the quality and yield of green garlic.

When the green garlic seedlings need to be plowed and cultivated, squatting, to promote the root system can be y rooted down, the appropriate cultivation of soil during the growth process can increase the height of the pseudostem, but also to improve the quality of green garlic. Specific practice is: in the green garlic seedlings but the leaves are not yet fully developed when watering 1 time thorough water, after the water completely seeped down, to the top of the cover about 5 centimeters thick horse manure and crushed grass, sandy soil. If it appears that the garlic seedlings grow too fast, the leaves grow out higher than the mulch can be covered with soil again, by mulching in this way, you can let the pseudostem of garlic grow up to 10 to 15 centimeters.

Planted green garlic depends on your time to market, if it is ready to be marketed in the coming year, you need to apply a fertilizer before overwintering, watering a freezing water, but also to set up wind barriers, but also with straw and fallen leaves to cover to, or buttoned up small arches, covered with grass thatch to overwintering. In the green garlic after the return of green, the need for two times to remove the cover grass, but also need to water and fertilization, according to the market demand for inter-pulling or harvesting the whole border.

5, harvest

Phased batch harvest, green garlic from sowing to harvest takes about 60 days. Southern regions in November to December can be marketed, a one-time harvest, can also be harvested more than one crop. Multi-crop harvesting, pay attention not to hurt the garlic cloves, when the new leaves grow out of the time must be timely fertilizer and watering, which can promote the growth of the plant. So that you can harvest the second crop, the third crop.
