How to grow garlic sprouts with soil?

1. Seed selection and fertilization

Choose healthy, unbroken garlic cloves free of disease, and classify them into three grades: large, medium and small. Three days before sowing, put the garlic cloves into a container and soak them in water according to grade. Change the water once a day so the garlic seeds fully absorb water and germinate faster. At the same time, deeply plow and level the planting site, apply 5000 kg of organic fertilizer and 40 kg of potassium sulfate, work the fertilizer down to a depth of 25 cm and prepare the soil finely.

2. Sow at the right time

It is suitable to sow garlic sprouts when the temperature is 17-19°C. Before sowing, make beds 1.5 m wide and open furrows along lines 20-23 cm apart (10 cm deep), then place the garlic cloves at a spacing of 5 cm, and finally cover with a thin layer of soil.

3. Field management

Build a 30 cm framework over the bed surface, cover it with a shade net or straw curtain for shade, and remove the shade shed after the seedlings emerge evenly. After the garlic seedlings emerge evenly, carry out the first topdressing, which can be watered on with urea or dilute human and livestock manure water. In short, follow the principle of light fertilizer applied frequently. At harvest time, apply fertilizer once for each harvest.
