Garlic planting method and technology

First of all, garlic should be planted in early September and early 10, and no later than mid 10 at the latest. In addition, green garlic needs to be planted at the end of August, and each planting point needs 2 to 3 cloves of garlic. The distance between the two pairs should be about 20 cm and the depth should be about 2 to 3 cm. After sowing, cover a layer of plant ash.

Garlic is oblate or short cone-shaped, with off-white or light brown membranous scales outside. After peeling off the scales, there are 6 ~ 10 garlic cloves, which are whorled around the flower stem. The stem base is discoid and has many fibrous roots.

Every garlic clove is wrapped in a film. When the film is peeled off, white, thick and juicy scales are seen. It has a strong garlic flavor and spicy taste. It has a pungent smell and can be eaten or used for seasoning, and can also be used as medicine.

Underground bulbs are divided into purple species and white species according to different skin colors. Garlic was introduced into China from the Western Regions in Qin and Han Dynasties. It is artificially bred and propagated, which has anti-cancer effect and is very popular with the public.
