Growing advice

The garlic variety Lyubasha is one of the winter species. Planting takes place in autumn. Depending on the climatic features of the region, the month of planting is the end of September or the beginning of November. Soil temperature should not be below 10 degrees. Late planting is fraught with the death of the entire crop.

Before sowing, the teeth are treated with a solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate. Holding time - 30 minutes. The method allows you to strengthen the immune system and increase the growth rate. The following are used as planting material: cloves, single-toothed plants, air bulbs from arrows. The cloves are used as planting material no more than twice, with repeated planting they lose their properties.

IMPORTANT! It is necessary to plant a plant at least two weeks before the first frost.

To get a good result you should:

1. Pick the right landing spot. Flat, well-lit piece of land. An insufficient amount of sunlight leads to a decrease in the size of the head of a light-loving plant and a deterioration in taste. Legumes, green manure or gourds can precede the cultivation of garlic beds.
2. Preliminary soil preparation. The earth should be dug up and complex mineral fertilizers added. The depth of digging the earth is 30 centimeters.
3. Planting material is immersed in the ground to a depth of 5-6 centimeters.
4. Planting is done in rows, the distance between them is 30-40 centimeters.
5. The distance between the holes is 10 centimeters.

Good afternoon! Last summer, a neighbor opened Lyubasha's garlic for me. The variety is unpretentious, frost-resistant and easily tolerates dry weather. I harvest in 80-90 days from the date of planting. The plant does not require close attention. If you follow the simple rules of agricultural technology, a good harvest is guaranteed. Be sure to carry out mulching, for the event I use hay. The heads of garlic are large in size, weighing about 100-120 grams. You can store for a long time, up to 11 months. I add fragrant garlic Lyubasha to the salad, use it for cooking meat dishes, marinate. I didn't find any cons for myself. I advise everyone!
