How to plant garlic at home

Garlic plants

Garlic is a food that is frequently used to prepare exquisite recipes, but also it will serve as an insecticide... both for plants and for ourselves as it has numerous medicinal properties.

If you want to know how to plant garlic at home, take note of these tips 🙂.

What I need?

Garlic

Before planting, the first thing we will do is prepare all the material to be used, which is:

  • GarlicGarlic bulbs for planting can be purchased from agricultural warehouses or nurseries. Those who sell in supermarkets have been treated so that they do not germinate, with which they will not serve us.
  • Flower pot: These plants can be grown both in pots - large and deep - as well as in the garden. If you don't have land, grab a few large plastic buckets (like paint buckets), poke several holes in them for drainage, clean them with water and a little dishwasher, and you're done.
  • Substratum: in the case of garlic, it is highly recommended to use 70% black peat and 30% perlite. I also recommend adding a little - a handful will be enough - of worm humus so that it has a good development from the beginning.
  • Watering can with water: You can not miss. After each sowing, planting or transplanting, it is very important to water.

And now that we have everything, we are going to plant our garlic. How? A) Yes:

Plant in pot

If you have chosen to plant your garlic in a pot, you just have to do the following:

  1. Fill the pot with substrate, almost completely.
  2. Introduce a single garlic to a depth of about 4-5cm.
  3. Water.

Planting in the garden

Planting in the garden involves a little more work, but it is already known that the work ... will bring its reward.

  1. Make several trenches, as many as the garlic you want to plant, about 10cm deep.
  2. Plant the garlic at a minimum distance of 20cm between each of them.
  3. Cover them with soil.
  4. And finally, water.
