Plant garlic in pre-made furrows, the depth of which is approximately 20 cm (no more). These grooves should be 25 cm apart. You need to pour river sand into the bottom of the furrows, in a layer of 2 cm. Thanks to it, the garlic cloves will not come into contact with the soil, which will protect them from rot. Important! Don’t forget to mulch the soil. For this, it is best to take sawdust mixed with soil. A mulched area will help the garlic to withstand the winter cold well.

Large and juicy heads from your garden, grown from female cloves, will be an excellent addition to various dishes. With homemade garlic, you can fry crispy unsweetened croutons for tea, bake Greek chicken breast, or pickle carrots for the winter. All these dishes will have a delicious aroma!
