Frequently asked questions(8)
Spring garlic is planted in open ground in April–April. Optimal temperature for growth: Low positive temperatures in spring are important for root development. Sowing depth: 2–3 cm (shallower than winter). Distance between plants: 6–8 cm in a row, 20–25 cm between rows.
Spring garlic requires regular watering, especially during the period of active growth and fruit formation. Water with warm water at the root, avoiding getting on the leaves. Lighting conditions: full sun. In hot weather, watering is increased; in cool weather, watering is reduced. Mulching helps retain moisture in the soil.
Spring garlic grows best in fertile loam soils amended with organic matter in the fall. Optimal acidity (pH): Neutral. Before planting, it is recommended to add compost or humus. Planting pattern: 6–8 cm in a row, 20–25 cm between rows. Good drainage is important to prevent water stagnation.
Spring garlic grows well next to: tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, cucumbers, red beets. Undesirable neighbors: beans, peas, white cabbage. These plants may inhibit growth or attract common pests. Proper proximity helps protect against pests and improve yields.
Spring garlic is harvested in August–September. Regular collection stimulates the formation of new fruits. Do not overexpose the crop in the garden - this reduces the overall yield and quality.
Spring garlic is an unpretentious crop suitable for beginning gardeners. It does not require complex care and tolerates minor mistakes in agricultural technology.
The main problems when growing spring garlic: fungal diseases (powdery mildew, late blight), aphids, spider mites. For prevention, observe crop rotation (do not plant spring garlic in one place for 2 years in a row), provide good ventilation, and water at the root. At the first signs of illness, use biological products (Fitosporin, Trichodermin).
The harvested spring garlic crop is stored in a cool, dark place. Before storing, sort them - use damaged fruits first. Optimal storage temperature: 2–5°C at 85–90% humidity. Under suitable conditions, spring garlic remains fresh for several weeks.
