If you missed the moment of planting garlic in the fall, then in the spring, in order to get the same powerful plants as those that overwintered, you can root them in one simple way. The cloves sprouted by it will eventually yield a rich harvest, no worse than winter garlic. The method ensures 100% survival rate.
What you will need:
- shaped plastic bottles 0.5 l;
- scissors.
Garlic rooting process
It is necessary to cut off the top of the garlic cloves with a sharp knife without disassembling the head.
Then containers for germination from PET bottles are prepared. Their neck is cut off, then a wide ring closer to the middle.
The cut ring is inserted into the bottom of the bottle, after which its protruding part is cut off.
This will allow you to narrow the resulting glass so that you can put a head of garlic in it. If it is very small, then the ring should be made from the neck.
The glasses are filled with water, then the heads are inserted into them so that their root bundle reaches the moisture. The teeth will sprout very quickly and begin to drink water.
Within a week, each clove will have a large spine and a long feather.
You need to disassemble the head and plant the garlic in open ground or pots with nutritious soil.
For better acceleration, plantings are watered abundantly.
