At the beginning of spring, it’s important to focus on garlic fertilization to achieve large heads. Here’s how to choose the best fertilizers for optimal growth.
Ideal Fertilizers
Urea, which is rich in nitrogen, is an excellent choice. Dissolve 20 grams of urea in a bucket of water, then water the beds and loosen the soil. Alternatively, you can use saltpeter or ammonia as replacements.
Second Feeding
For a second boost, feed the garlic with nitrophos. Apply this fertilizer two weeks after the first feeding. Dissolve 40 grams of the powder in a bucket of warm water and apply it in the morning or evening.
Additional Nutrients
To ensure a high-quality crop, incorporate potassium sulfate. Mix 30 grams of the powder in a bucket of water and water the beds thoroughly. After a couple of days, follow up with superphosphate. Dissolve 40 grams of this powder in another bucket of warm water for a final feeding.
By following these steps, you’ll set your garlic up for a bountiful harvest!
