Hello, dear friends, welcome to the Chunmanyuan Forum. Here is
Li share the experience in Toronto for everyone to grow vegetables. Now to the frost, frost to begin
and this is the best time to seed garlic. There is a time for that kind of garlic. why? The most hardy this
time garlic garlic is in the 3-5 leaf stage. After that we remember this time
when we are pushed to the coldest according to local time. The coldest time in Toronto is at the end of January and early February
. Well, based on this time, we can estimate that this garlic will be the most cold-resistant after it is planted.
Even if you put it in the refrigerator at this time, as long as it is a normal garlic sprout, it will germinate slowly.
That is to say, after we plant it, we are not afraid of the cold in November and December,
it will slowly sprout. After sprouting slowly, let it grow four to five leaves just at the end of January and beginning of February. At
this time, it has the strongest cold resistance. After the race because a lot of garlic, or
froze to death and that is kind of too early; leaves or half brown, kind of early. For example, you just
planted in September, I will not. Some garlic will not bolt after being planted, even if it does not bolt until July,
it will be too late. That's too late to kind. Planting in December and planting in January is not okay. Because garlic is a
bulb vegetables belong to this, and it is characterized by summer dormant, but it must begin in the late fall
to wake up. Let's pinch this time and start planting garlic. First, it involves the kind of garlic to be a
problem. This year, my field is full of cold-resistant vegetables. These long very
lush dishes are ready for the coming of winter, winter to eat vegetables. That is not the kind
of, what kind of place? This is a compost pit I made myself. I was kind of in the compost pit
above. If you grow garlic, you can eat garlic sprouts,
or you can keep it so that it smokes garlic moss, and then harvest the garlic. Many people are entangled, then I want to eat garlic
garlic how close I would like to do. Then a garlic is not acceptable.
Why? You cut garlic (garlic leaves) eat will affect its growth, then bolting it on the pumping well, not very long on
garlic. But in fact, I believe that no one will plant just one garlic plant, they will plant dozens of garlic plants.
Then we plant it a little higher density. Now that kind of close by continuous eating garlic, has been eating
almost mid-April when the garlic starts to age at that time when we do not eat in.
The density adjusted to almost 30 cm row spacing, plant spacing of 20 cm, so it's left to
get down to the remaining smoked garlic on it. That this soil is so
deep, what we need to do? First need to ditch. If a ditch is opened, the ditch is about
10 cm deep. Let's open the ditch now. The ditch is opened first.
Yes, I just opened one, two, three, four, four trenches. When the four ditches are opened, let's fertilize them.
Because I have so much organic matter underneath, I am not worried about its insufficient fertility. Just
do not worry about it enough fertility grow up. Because over it this time, it is now the root of garlic
down a long time, this 20-30 centimeters of soil it long enough for a while.
And other similar to it in April next year in May, when the inside of rotting organic matter also, that it
can connect to. That we need to now what is needed is initially
give it a little start. That we will use this fifth-generation
soil activator Growers Delight. Probably one square meter lies in the
garlic, then a large amount of fertilizer needed that can be mastered in about 100 grams a. That is our pit, then
more than two square meters, and that it uses about 300 grams. That's all right now sprinkle with soil activator. Then sprinkled with
a little hoe Stir this, with the inside of the soil mixed with a mixing activator.
This one won’t burn the roots, so it’s fine to mix it up a little bit, you don’t need to be too careful.
Because this garlic seedling requires a lot of fertilizer, it is also more resistant to fertilizer.
In many cases, poor growth of garlic sprouts is caused by insufficient fertility.
Let this, then, following a pit full of fertilizer, which also gave it sprinkled soil activator, take fertility
must be guaranteed. The depth of the groove that you can see
it like this almost 7,8 cm deep ditch. Why. A lot of people in the end the kind of deep
in doubt. What I usually say is that each breed is a little different and very complicated. But
I say how much seed to seed deep. It seemed like such a seed, probably only 3-4 cm so much,
that we give it a kind of 8 centimeters deep (4cm 4cm top seed + seed to the soil surface), just
right, to the truth. 8 cm is counted from the root, not from the top. This
is actually very simple not to tangle. That is to say, after we plant it, the soil will fall here, and
about 3-4 cm of soil from the top is enough. Not grow
too deep, too deep impact it kind of emergence. Difficulty in emergence consumes its nutrients.
Can not be too shallow. Kinds shallow soil after falling as rain after settling, the seeds exposed on the outside it is easy
to destroy animals or water. OK. This is depth. The other is the problem of garlic splitting.
Let me break it open for everyone to see. For a garlic, there are about 7-10 garlic cloves like this. Kind
of time must be split. why. This head of garlic is just such a clove of garlic, which has
been transformed through several months of growth and development. What is the disadvantage of not separating the petals? Regardless of the
flap harm meant by it a few months so grow, grow out of this 7-8 garlic cloves
garlic out 7-8. It will be too crowded and affect its growth.
So it must be split. After that split, some people went to extremes again. He put the
garlic skin are stripped. The skin must not be peeled. Why, this skin protects the garlic seeds. After peeling
rotten seeds to cause problems emergence. This is where it grows roots.
So we divided it. We can plant it after splitting it into petals. Where do you buy the seeds?
Many people say that it is very complicated, buy here, buy there. But my years with the down, I think this
time Superstore sells rooster card that garlic is very good. This kind of package
we had enough of this pit. That is less than five yuan. Many of these vegetables in local supermarkets as long as the recent sell
no problem. We start to plant now. When the split seed, garlic seed row
down.
One thing to note is that the place where it has long roots must face downwards.
Press lightly with your hand, don't throw it in casually. If you plant it down, its roots are upside down and it will not develop well.
Because we want to eat garlic sprouts, we plant them more densely. Plant a little denser, and thin the seedlings after mid-April.
It is enough to keep one of the five garlic seedlings. When you can eat garlic sprouts, I guess it should be in
late January and early February. The time to eat garlic sprouts is almost two months.
It can be eaten from February to March. When the weather turns hot in mid-April, the garlic leaves will age and not taste good.
Another point, after my compost mound that began two weeks this whole
wooden box is hot. In other words, if its temperature is above 50 degrees, the heart may have 70 or 80 degrees
. Many people worry that this homemade compost will have diseases and pests. In fact, if you stack this amount enough to
seal the heap good, it relies on bacteria break down the organic matter in the future inside the heat released these
are enough to kill harmful bacteria and eggs. So this is a question of composting method.
This compost pit must not be small. The heap volume cannot be small. Those with one to compost bucket, leaving the problem is that eggs
not kill, kill the germs. There is no problem with our big pit. Plus my pit, I
planted garlic this season after the summer I went to Wang Litou I kind of cut melon or chayote.
It's equivalent to the year after I started thinking about using the fertilizer here. At that time the manure pit
is already certain maturity. If it is fully decomposed, there is no problem with the quality.
Okay, we're sowing the seed now. The line spacing is about 40 cm.
The plant spacing is only 5 cm. The rest is to cover the seeds. Cover this garlic plant tightly.
Ok, this kind of garlic is done. Some people also asked if watering is needed.
The weather has been relatively humid recently. In fact, don’t worry about watering, you don’t need to worry about it.
The garlic itself is relatively large, and the inside itself contains water.
It will grow roots on its own when it sees moisture, so it doesn't need to be watered at this time.
What is the only problem left? It is to prevent small animals to dig question of
garlic. Because after you plant something, the squirrel and crow know that if something is buried underneath, it
will plan and destroy it. What to do then. Let's find a net for it to cover it. This is called
bird netting, go to Rona or Home Depot
are sold. 7-8 dollars to buy a large roll, can cover
a lot of area. I remember it was 4 meters wide and 8 meters long. Okay, find something and press it and it will be done.
