What are the methods for growing garlic sprouts in oil drums?

Most people today use bought barrel oil for cooking, and once the oil drum is used up it gets thrown away as garbage. Below we teach you the method of growing garlic sprouts in an oil drum.

Introduction to growing garlic sprouts in an oil drum

1. Preparation

Discarded oil drum, nutrient soil, garlic cloves

2. Wash the drum

After the waste oil drum is used up, rinse it clean with water, then find a soldering iron, of course an electric drill works too, and punch countless holes all around it. Although the operation is simple, everyone should pay attention to safety when making the holes.

3. Fill with soil

After punching the holes in the empty oil drum, you can fill it with nutrient soil. It is recommended that you make the nutrient soil yourself, mixing ordinary garden soil, leaf mold, farmyard manure and pine needles together. This kind of nutrient soil is both loose and airy, and later watering will not cause waterlogging.

4. Plant the garlic

After putting soil in the empty oil drum, you can put the garlic cloves you prepared beforehand, one by one, into the holes.

5. Care

After stuffing in the garlic, you can pour a little water in at the opening of the oil drum. For fertilizing, use a bamboo pole to poke a small hole down through the opening of the oil drum, then put the fertilizer in.

Of course, besides growing garlic sprouts, onions, scallions and so on can also be grown in the same way.
