Garlic is a spicy vegetable that many gardeners grow. It can be planted twice a year: in spring and before winter. To get a good harvest, it is important to know when to plant garlic before winter in 2022 according to the lunar calendar in the Moscow region.

The main features of planting garlic before winter in the Moscow region

This area has a fairly favorable climate, conducive to obtaining a good harvest of garlic. The relatively mild and snowy winter allows the cloves of this vegetable to remain in the soil until warmth.

Usually, planting is done in mid-October in order to be in time before the onset of stable frosts. If the weather is very warm, then you can postpone this event until the end of the month. Sometimes planting of garlic is allowed in early November.

The ideal average daily temperature for planting garlic in the Moscow region is + 10 … + 12 ° С. The soil should be slightly damp. These are ideal conditions for the formation of the root system of a culture. At higher temperatures, the vegetable will prematurely begin to throw out the arrows, which is extremely undesirable for winter garlic.

Planting is not recommended after heavy rains.

• To prevent the development of fungal diseases, the cloves must be treated with a weak solution of manganese or any fungicide before planting.
• It is imperative to observe the crop rotation. Garlic before winter can be planted after cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumbers, peas, beans, potatoes.
• The bed should be high enough to protect the planting from being flooded by melt water.
• Sandy loam soil with neutral acidity is ideal.
• Particular attention should be paid to the planting material. The teeth should be free of stains and signs of mold or decay.
• It is advisable to give preference to medium teeth. Too small, like large ones, may not form a bulb.

Choosing the right landing site and layout

The right place for winter garlic is one of the important factors affecting the yield. This should be approached very responsibly.

Experts recommend:

• Choose a well-ventilated and well-lit place on the site, while protected from the north by dense bushes, buildings, etc.
• Dig the ridge at least 20 cm deep, but preferably with a full bayonet of a shovel.
• Fertilize the soil with complex fertilizer (potassium salt and superphosphate, 30 g each, humus or compost 10 kg per 1 m²).

For planting garlic at any time of the year, 2 methods are used - square-nested (each clove in a separate hole) and tape (in grooves).

Landing is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Make holes or grooves 8-10 cm deep.
2. Place the planting material in them at a distance of 10-15 cm from each other.
3. Sprinkle with soil.
4. Tamp down a little.
5. Drizzle.
6. Cover with agrofibre or mulch.
7. Add a cover of leaves or dry grass on top.

Failure to comply with the recommended depth and spacing between plantings will negatively affect the quality of the bulbs and the yield in general.
