When planting
winter garlic in autumn, providing it with the right nutrients from the start can significantly boost your harvest without needing additional feeding later on. Here are some effective tips on what to incorporate into the planting process:
1. Wood Ash and Grass Clippings:
In each planting hole, add a small amount of
wood ash and
grass clippings. If you don’t have wood ash readily available, you can purchase it from a garden store. Approximately half a kilogram of ash per hole will suffice.
2. Specialized Garlic Fertilizers:
If wood ash is not accessible, opt for a
specific fertilizer designed for garlic. Add about a teaspoon of this fertilizer into each planting hole. Ensure the fertilizer contains a balanced mix of nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium, ideally at least 7-8%.
Following these guidelines will provide your garlic with essential nutrients right from the start, setting the stage for a robust and productive harvest in the upcoming season.
