Watering and fertilizing

Watering of garlic vine can be done according to changes in the climate environment. During the vigorous growth period in summer, high temperatures cause a large amount of water evaporation, so it needs frequent watering, and you can water once a day. In winter, the temperature is low and the plant is in a dormant period, so the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced, watering once every 3-4 days. When fertilizing, you can choose natural organic fertilizers such as chicken, duck, goose and cow manure. Apply some base fertilizer when planting, and thereafter apply a compound fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a month.
