Method of planting garlic

Garlic can be planted in spring and summer every year, but the planting time is different in different regions, and the cold tolerance of garlic is poor. The northern region can only be planted in spring, while the southern region has a warm climate, and garlic can be planted in spring and summer.

When planting garlic, you should choose a field with sunny ventilation and flat terrain, turn it 30 cm deep, remove the grass roots and stones from it, then expose the field to the sun for a week, then sprinkle the decomposed farmyard manure on it, and then plant it after the fertilizer and soil are mixed.

In the process of planting garlic, it is necessary to break the whole garlic into garlic cloves, take garlic cloves with larger particles as seeds, then expose the seeds in the sun for a day, then bury them in the soil with the tip facing upwards, and finally cover them with soil with a thickness of 1 cm and water them thoroughly.
