The best planting time of garlic
1, planting time
The best planting time of garlic is in March-April in spring and August-September in autumn, because the temperature and humidity at this time are suitable for garlic growth, but the specific sowing time needs to be adjusted according to the local climate. For example, autumn sowing cannot be carried out in the northern region where winter is cold, and garlic needs to be planted in spring.
2. Soil conditions
Garlic is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil species. When sowing and propagating garlic, it is necessary to choose high-lying land, which is beneficial for garlic to drain the accumulated water in the soil. It is also necessary to bury plant ash and farm manure in the soil to provide nutrients for garlic's growth, and it is also necessary to remove stones from the soil to promote garlic's vigorous growth.
3, accelerating germination
When planting garlic, you need to choose white and full garlic cloves, then soak them in warm water for one day to make them absorb enough water, and then put garlic seeds in an environment with a temperature of 25-30 degrees to accelerate germination. After waiting for garlic seeds to sprout, they can be planted in the soil.
4. Maintenance management
When maintaining garlic, it is necessary to topdress the plant once when it grows 4-5 true leaves. The diluted compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be used to accelerate the growth of garlic. It is best not to bury the fertilizer near the root system of garlic when fertilizing, so as not to cause fertilizer damage to the plant, and it is also necessary to water it every other week.
