How to tie garlic into a braid for storage and other ways to overwinter the crop

There are many ways to store winter garlic grown in the beds:

Sprinkling with s alt.
Dipping heads in paraffin.
Storage in nylon stockings.
Cardboard, wooden boxes.
Birch bark baskets.
Glass jars.
Drying seasoning cloves.
Chubicle pickling.

But braiding garlic is the most practical and decorative way to winterize the crop. During the cultivation of this culture, a huge number of ways to weave braids from bulbous plants were invented. Let's take a look at some of them.

How to braid garlic?

The main work is done with the help of the stems of the plant, which are not completely cut off after drying. About 30 centimeters should be left. To bind tightly, use additional devices.

rope;
twine;
wire.

Method one

For weaving braids from bulbous, the fruits are dried along with the stems for a week, the tops should not dry out and breakThe preparation of the fruits consists in cleaning from dirt, husks and removing from the tops excess foliage. Next, trim the stem to a 30-centimeter length. Garlic fruits are chosen the same size, so the pigtail will look beautiful:

We take a twine about 1.5 meters long, fold it in half. We choose a large and beautiful head. Weaving schemes, as in a regular braid.
Tie the stem at the base with twine so that we get 3 ends, two from the twine and one from the stem of the plant.
Apply the second fruit to the twine and begin to braid the braid, gradually adding one to each end. If it becomes difficult to weave, we remove the tops from the first vegetables.
At the end of weaving, the braid is tied with the ends of the twine and the tops are cut off. Tie the ring with twine and hang the garlic braid in the kitchen or elsewhere.

Second weaving method

Vegetables are tied together in two pieces:

Take a rope 1.5 meters long, fold it in half.
First, we tie a large head with a rope near the base. In this case, the two ends remain the same length, and in the middle is the fruit.
Next, two onions alternately put on the first fruit to make 4 heads in the section.
After 4-5 layers, we knit a knot in the middle with a rope. Thus, we carry out weaving and form a braid of the desired length. At the end we fix with knots for a fortress. We cut off the excess tops and use a rope to make a loop.

This makes a very beautiful pigtail. It is decorated with dry flowers.

Third way

Vegetables choose the same size with stems, 15 centimeters long. They should not be too dry - it will be difficult to braid into a rope:

We take a tourniquet or twine, tie a knot in the middle. We insert the tops there and tie at the base. Two ends remain free. Weave the stem into two ropes in a zigzag pattern.
The next fetus is also inserted and a knot is tied for fixation. So the braid of the desired length is woven. It is important to weave the tops and tighten tightly, but avoid breaking the stem.

In this way, the connected heads are kept in full view of the owners - it is easy to check its condition. Perfectly performs a decorative function in the room.
