How to Keep Garlic Fresh in Midsummer? The Soil Pit Storage Method
In midsummer, because garlic bulbs are extremely sensitive to temperature and humidity, they will rot and spoil if not stored carefully. Choose a sunny, wind-sheltered spot and dig a soil pit 30 to 40 cm deep; the size can be determined by the amount of garlic bulbs to be stored. After the pit is dug, promptly pour the dried garlic bulbs into the pit, with a thickness of 15 to 20 cm being appropriate, cover them with 15 to 20 cm of soil, then water the soil until it is saturated, and finally cover it tightly with plastic film. Garlic bulbs stored this way will still not spoil after the Qingming Festival of the following year.
