How to care for garlic in June
The first rule – competent watering. This culture loves water, but it all depends on time and other factors.
In June, if it is hot outside, you need to moisten the soil under the garlic at least twice for seven days, or even more often. However, you should gradually reduce watering and do it only once a week until the end of the month, and 14 days before harvest, and do not water at all.
Fertilizers are also of great importance. Garlic nitrogen is not needed at all in the first month of summer. The number of the 15th allowed mono-feeding – it is desirable to shed the beds with a solution of 1 tbsp. l. granules of potassium sulfate and 10 liters of water.
No less important is the removal of arrows. As soon as the plant produces these stalks 10-15 cm in height before they begin to curl, they must be broken off, leaving a piece of 2-3 centimeters from each. After this day, three should not water the garlic to prevent infection.
