Experts recommend that summer residents start the preparation of beds for the subzyrient planting of onions and garlic. It is important to choose a plot not flooded in the spring and observe crop rotation – on one bed, these crops can be grown every three years.

Agron Elena Shadrina advises to draw phosphorus-potasium fertilizers and humus under the digging, which will improve the winter hardiness of plants and the harvest. To reduce the acidity of the soil, it is recommended to add dolomite flour at the rate of 200 grams per square meter, writes aloud.ru.
The expert notes that onions and garlic are planted simultaneously, but use different planting material: for garlic, they choose large cloves, for onions – a small fraction (Ovsyuk). An important role is played by soil moisture-in dry autumn the beds must be watered 2-3 times.
Mulching is carried out only after stable cooling using mowed grass or sawdust. The deadlines are determined by the weather forecast: you need to plant 10-14 days before stable night frosts.
