Planting garlic in 2020: calendar

Providing optimal conditions for the growth and development of garlic requires an integrated approach based on various agricultural techniques and following natural rhythms. And you need to start by choosing the most favorable time for planting crops in accordance with the phases of the moon. Therefore, in order for garlic to be planted correctly in 2020, it must be carried out according to the lunar calendar, while observing the rules of agricultural technology.

Landing time

To correctly determine the days when to plant garlic in the ground in 2020, you need to understand that there are spring and winter varieties. Spring trees are planted in early spring, as soon as the snow melts and the earth dries out a bit (the earthen lump does not stick to hands). Meeting deadlines greatly affects the volume and quality of the crop. During this period, the teeth are saturated with moisture, which provides them with full development. If you are late for 12-15 days, then the heads will turn out much smaller.

Winter garlic is planted taking into account that at least 1.5 months remain before the winter cold. The last week of September and the beginning of October are best for this. With a later planting, the teeth will not have time to take root, and an earlier one will lead to premature growth and a significant decrease in winter hardiness.

In addition, the optimum dates for such work must be determined taking into account the lunar calendar. Favorable days for planting or planting garlic in 2020 are indicated in the calendar below.

If for some reason sowing of garlic in 2020 on the indicated days is not possible, then it is possible (albeit undesirable) to postpone the event to another date. The main thing at the same time is to avoid the days when according to the lunar calendar there will be a phase of the full moon and the new moon.

Prohibited for sowing garlic in 2020 daysand are indicated in the table:

In addition, there are a number of recommendations as to when to plant garlic in 2020. They relate to the signs of the zodiac, in which the moon is at the time of landing:

1. Fishes, Cancer, Taurus, Scorpio are considered fertile. If you sow garlic in 2020 under one of these signs, this will ensure rapid growth and a high crop yield.
2. The neutral ones include Capricorn, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra. Under the Moon, landing can be done in these signs, but the yield will be average.
3. Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Aries are considered infertile. During the stay of the moon in these constellations, the sowing of garlic in 2020 cannot be carried out.

In any case, plant teeth in the ground at dawn or at noon. On the growing moon, it is recommended to make mineral fertilizers for sowing, on the waning - organic fertilizing.

Terms & Conditions

Garlic is a light-loving, frost-resistant plant, not pretentious to the soil, but requiring proper crop rotation. Plots on which any bulbous or perennial plants grew are not suitable for planting this crop. You can not re-plant garlic in the same place earlier than 5 years, due to the high probability of pests and diseases.

Fresh manure is not introduced under the teeth, so as not to increase the risk of fungal infections and the accumulation of nitrate in the pulp. Moreover, under such conditions, they mature poorly and remain loose, therefore poorly stored.

Immediately before planting garlic, you can not dig up the soil.It is necessary to withstand 12-15 days so that the teeth do not go too deep into the ground, otherwise a lack of air will lead to the death of planting material. Also, shrinkage of the soil will cause the root system to bend, in which the teeth do not gain the necessary strength.

The garlic is planted in rows in a trench 10 cm deep with a row spacing of 25 cm and at a distance of 8-10 cm. In this case, the teeth are completely pressed into the soil. For spring varieties, planting depth can be reduced by half.

Seed growing

Garlic can not be constantly planted with teeth. To prevent degeneration and the accumulation of diseases, every 4-5 years it is necessary to sow seeds. The next year they give small bulbs, and from them in a year ordinary heads grow.

To obtain bulbs, a certain number of heads are not dug out, but left in the ground and next spring all the teeth will densely rise and give bulbs. They are harvested in the fall, and then used during planting.

Harvest

Garlic ripens on average 100 days after emergence. Usually, winter crops are dug up in late July - early August, and spring - from late August to mid-September. More precisely, the days when to dig out the garlic are determined by the lunar calendar. Favorable dates for harvesting in 2020 are given in the calendar:

Fully ripened heads should be tight, and the teeth should be easily separated from them. Additionally, maturity confirms the presence of the following symptoms:

• shells of bulbs crack;
• lower leaves turn yellow;
• the tops are drying and bending;
• the husk is thinning;
• young roots grow.

The degree of maturity of the cloves at the time of harvesting is very important to ensure high-quality storage, since immature spoil quickly deteriorate, and overripe will independently disintegrate.
