I powder the garlic in the spring after germination with this mixture. The feathers do not turn yellow, and the teeth grow as large as a fist.

Spring and summer garlic care mainly consists of careful weeding, loosening the soil and timely fertilizing. It is very important to provide plants with a sufficient amount of nutrients, especially when we are talking about not the richest soil. From my own experience, I can say that if you carefully treat the young shoots with a certain mixture at the beginning of spring, the garlic will grow much larger, disease-resistant and without a tendency to turn yellow throughout the season.

The first spring fertilizer of garlic. After winter, when the soil still retains moisture, it is able to absorb dry fertilizers especially well. My preference is natural and nutritional formulations. The first component of this mixture is wood ash. Ash is an excellent fertilizer for garlic throughout the season; it is recommended to apply it 2-3 times.

It is a natural source of phosphorus, potassium and many other elements necessary for the health and growth of garlic, promoting the formation of large cloves. In addition, ash promotes the activation of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. I use about 1 kg of ash to treat my garlic plantings.

The second important element is dolomite flour. This fertilizer is simply irreplaceable for garlic and onions; it is especially valuable to add it to the soil as early as possible. Dolomite flour not only nourishes the plants, but also helps deoxidize the soil, which is extremely important for my clay soils.

Due to the content of calcium and magnesium, as well as other elements, dolomite helps improve soil structure and stimulates plant growth. To feed you will need 2 cups of this fertilizer.

Having mixed these components, I distribute them evenly over the garlic shoots. This mixture is also great for onions, so feel free to use it for them too. Many years of experience in using this method of feeding in early spring always pays off with an excellent harvest.
