Is garlic suitable for planting around the Millennium solar terms?

"Seven onions and eight garlic", then July and August here are lunar months, so garlic can be planted around the Millennium. So when planting garlic at this time, we should pay attention to seed selection, land leveling, fertilization, planting density, management and pest control.

1, choose garlic seeds. This must be "good looking". Garlic seeds should be white, not rotten, relatively large and moderate. This will directly increase the garlic production in the future.

2. Level the land. Today is the Millennium season, so the land leveling before and after this should be carried out according to the soft soil that garlic likes to grow.

Pay attention to the need to apply base fertilizer to grow garlic in the Millennium season, so it is best to use farmyard manure and decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, and of course, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer together. Of course, garlic prefers phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

4. sowing date. Note that the temperature of one day in the Millennium season is about 15 to 25℃, which is also in line with the temperature range of garlic growth and germination. Therefore, when we are exposed to kind of garlic, the best planting time is now the Millennium. It is not good to miss the Millennium too early or too late, which will affect the garlic production in the future.

5. Planting density and management. The recommended row spacing is 15 cm, and the spacing between garlic grains is 8 cm. Pay attention to planting garlic shallowly, which is just the opposite of planting green onions, mainly in germination rate and yield.

For management, you should pay attention to the hardening of soil surface after garlic grows. Attention should be paid to topdressing and field pest management in the future, especially in winter and after spring.

Therefore, garlic is very suitable for planting around the Millennium solar terms. As the saying goes, "seven onions, eight garlic and nine buckwheat heads" is a common saying of the elderly. Let's plant it quickly. This is not a good time to miss the Millennium.
