Can garlic be planted in the soil?

The garlic bought from the market can germinate directly in the soil. Garlic is not very demanding on the soil, so even without soil, it can germinate naturally as long as it is in a suitable temperature environment.

Garlic should be cultivated in plots with loose soil, good drainage and rich organic matter. Although garlic has a wide adaptability, sandy loam is still the best choice because it is loose and suitable for root development. It will turn green early, bolt early, produce large garlic heads with a strong spicy taste, and be easy to harvest.

Garlic soil cultivation method

1. Soil selection

When planting garlic, it is best to choose a flat and dry terrain with loose and fertile soil, convenient irrigation and drainage, and soil rich in organic matter.

2. Planting method

(1) Before planting garlic, you can first prepare the land and apply fertilizer, and deep plow the soil to improve the fertility of the soil.

(2) The garlic plants should be planted at a certain distance and the sowing depth should be 3 to 4 cm. They need to be watered immediately after planting to ensure that the roots are established.

In the later stage of garlic maintenance, choose organic fertilizer and apply thin fertilizer frequently to provide the nutrients needed for plant growth. Also pay attention to the management of disease and pest prevention. You can spray insecticide on the seeds before sowing. When the plants are infected with diseases and pests, they should be treated with drugs in time.
