It's time to clean the garlic, if the leaves below the leaves and began to dry, and the scales chopped on the sample sample and thin. If the bulbs began to fall apart, then with cleaning you were late. Such garlic is unlikely to "live" to spring.

Ripening time of garlic in middle lane Russia falls in mid-July - the first decade of August. Harvesting is carried out in a warm, dry day. Each bulb is digging carefully, trying not to damage. Stems do not break. The dug garlic on 5 days is laid out under a canopy, and then hang out in a dry ventilated place until it does not dry. Then the garlic crop roots and stem at an altitude of 8-10 cm.

The ideal place for storage of garlic is a dry ventilated basement or a constant temperature cellar from 0 to 5C and air humidity 70-80%. Therefore, for owners of private houses with a cellar or basement, to keep garlic to spring will not be difficult.

But what to do residents of urban apartments?

The optimal humidity for its safety is 70-80%. With humidity less than 70% garlic will dry, and increased humidity May cause its germination or rotting.

So how to save garlic until spring?

1. Storage in the kitchen

Garlic is placed in the usual grid and hangs on the wall. Previously at the heads of garlic with the help of a candle, roots are mounted. This is done so that it does not germinate in heat.

2. Storage in a box with salt

The bottom of the box is falling asleep with a large cook salt. The garlic is stacked at salt. If the box is shallow, garlic should be put in one row. In a deep box, you can put several layers of garlic, moving each layer of salt. The box is put in a dark place. Because the salt is an excellent preservative, and, in addition, it is well kept in moisture, this way can be stored garlic until the summer.

3. Paraffin storage

Paraffin needs to melt on a steam bath and cool a little. In the resulting liquid paraffin, dip each garlic head, holding it for the cropped stem. "Shell" from paraffin will perfectly protect garlic heads from external influences. Processed in this way garlic can be stored in open video Before spring, without fear that he spoiled or loses his taste or fragrance.

4. Storage in vegetable oil

Vegetable oil should be boiled, add to it a few drops of iodine and treat the resulting composition of dry garlic heads. Dried garlic lays in boxes, baskets or other containers from natural raw materials. The film of vegetable oil will protect the head of garlic from drying and damage until spring.

True, this method has a significant drawback: the product loses its beneficial features. But if you are interested in taste quality, this is what you need.

What to do if garlic started to deter

The fact that garlic began to disappear, many signs may indicate, in particular:

• unpleasant odor;
• wrinkling teeth or integers;
• falling the slices inside when pressed on her with a finger;
• drying garlic heads;
• the appearance of mold.

The most frequently arising problem is drying garlic heads. This is due to the evaporation of moisture. If you do not have the ability to provide a more suitable storage room, paraffination will help you. The frozen paraffin will keep moisture in the cloves, and carbon dioxide that is formed in the head from the breathing of the stem, destroy the harmful microorganisms and thereby protects garlic from diseases.

To avoid the occurrence of mold during the storage period, be sure to dry garlic outdoors after harvesting

In the process of storage in a bulb, mold may form, and in some cases even black mold-like rot. This happens if garlic heads were damaged or frozen. Heat And the humidity significantly accelerates the development of diseases. To avoid this, be sure to dry garlic outdoors after harvesting: ultraviolet is destructive effect on fungus, mold and bacteria.

Another problem is the germination of garlic heads. As soon as green leaves are punctured on the tooth, the bulb begins to give them all the valuables and with time he dries, losing marketable condition and taste. Best way Prevent germination is the firing of the blues of bulbs. If it was not possible to avoid trouble, we advise you to plant sprouted slices on the garden to grow a new harvest.

Choose a day for cleaning

Time goes fast. Imperceptibly approached the period of cleaning garlic. It is trapped only in warm and dry weather. It is impossible to be late. With each dying day, the quality of garlic will steadily decline. All this will adversely affect its preservation in winter. It demonstrates its overripe of garlic:

• protective layers of the film scales are cracking;
• the bulb consists of estimated teeth, ready to separate from the slightest touch to them.

Damaged heads for the winter do not leave, they need to immediately use

The bulb consists of estimated teeth, ready to separate

Important Council: Damaged heads for the winter do not leave. They need to be separated and immediately used.

Nuances of digging and trimming garlic

If the garlic was good care: His polls on time, often loosened the soil, rarely watered during the growing season - the land in the garden should be soft and loose. In this case, it can be carefully trying to pull out for powerful stems with hands. But if the roots come off, you need to pour. For these purposes, it is necessary to use a shovel or forks. The main thing is not to hurry so as not to damage the heads.

Cleaned with hands from soil lumps and straight on the garden

Gently try to pull out for powerful stems with hands

If the weather allows, it is kept on the garden in the shadow of 5 days. Try to prevent direct sunlight on the day and dew in the morning. Therefore, at night it needs to be removed into a dry warm room. Many gardeners dried garlic within 10-14 days in attics dacha Domikov or other buildings.

• resistance to bacteriosis and bulk-garlic nematode.

Spring garlic loves warm in winter

Humidity has crucial importance to drying garlic and disease resistance

Resistance to bacteriosis and bulk-garlic nematode

Different varieties are stored with not same conditions. Yarovar garlic loves "warm" in winter - air temperature from +16 to +20 degrees, and winter grade "cold" is just plus 2-4 degrees. Humidity has decisive importance for drying and resistance to diseases. Too dry atmosphere dries completely tooths, and too wet environments will create conditions for the defeat of the heads of mold and diseases. The optimal humidity is 50-80%.

Using healthy planting material

Avoid growing in one place for several years in a row

The fight against nematodes and bacteriosis begins with the moment of landing and continues during care and cleaning. So that the heads were healthy, and the storage of garlic at home provided them with the saving of all his useful qualities, it is necessary:

• the use of a healthy planting material;
• avoiding growing in one place for several years in a row;
• the destruction of patients and weak plants during growth;
• disinfection of storage;
• maintaining the storage places of a moderate positive temperature and humidity of about 70%.

Destruction of patients and weak plants during growth

The best blend is observed at garlic heads having three protective layers of scaly coating.

Gentle Tip: Better Bigness is observed at garlic heads having three protective layers of the scaly coating.

The main conditions for storage are listed above: coolness, darkness, not too much humidity.
2. You can go simplified version. Tie the heads with stems in small bundles or brooms and hang under the roof in a warmed attic or winter Garden. In this place, the storage of garlic at home is checked by many gardens, which are satisfied with the result obtained. Conveniently in the process of storage to rebel suspicious heads.
3. Many dackets lay the dried and briefly cropped heads into kapron stockings, tights or grids. This option is similar to the braid of a simplified design and allows you to rationally use the place in the closet or under the roof, in the storage room or in the basement.

In capacities

1. Laying well dried heads into sterilized glass tri-liter banks under the drop-down lids are very popular among urban residents. Practice has shown that the bulbs preserved in this way retain their beneficial properties for a very long time, up to the end of the spring.
2. Many hostesses store heads in low drawers, cardboard boxes, baskets, linen bags, holey bags. The main thing here is the presence of sufficient number of holes for good ventilation in the containers. On the bottom usually put onion husks, some ash or sawdust, which absorb excess moisture. For the winter, the filled containers are placed in dry and cool places. This method is convenient because the bulbs of garlic are easily accessible and you can periodically sort out, rejecting the spoiled heads.

Undoubted how to keep garlic until spring in one way or another - choose affordable option. We hope that the whole winter garlic will be used to prepare dishes, and will not be thrown into the trash can. Always remember the rule: garlic is much easier to grow, than to keep it in winter at home.

Preface

How to store garlic interests everyone who has already encountered the fact that it is easier to grow it, than to save fresh even before the next harvest, and at least for several months. Here the main thing is to create and maintain certain conditions in winter. That's just garlic grow two types and each has its own storage mode, completely unacceptable for another.

Garlic is divided into spring and winter. Already from the name it is clear that the main difference between these species in the landing time. Yarovoy is spring, and in winter - autumn. In addition, the second species differs from the first thing that he has a higher yield and it is worse.

The appearance of spring and winter garlic is also different. And the ability to distinguish them is very useful when for long-term storage in winter this vegetable will not be taken from its own garden, but in the store or on the market. The venous overwhelming majority of varieties are basic, non-stirring, and the cloves are located around the center of the head in several rows and most often on the helix.

All winter grades grow only with the stem (arrow). The cloves are located around it in 1 row and they are much smaller than that of spring, but they are usually larger. In the core of any zinc of winter garlic, even small, there is a distinctly distinguishable concern of the future stem-arrow. He will be at the Svorov, only if it is a fake grade, and everyone has no other.

Heads garlic

Now you can go to the question how to store garlic properly depending on its type. As noted above, for spring and wintering should be created different conditions. Failure to comply with their and storage of garlic of the first type in a way for the second and vice versa will lead to the fact that this vegetable will not curtail the period last.

Accordingly, the types of garlic exist two main storage methods. The main difference between them in temperature and humidity that must be maintained:

• for winter - + 2 ... + 4 ° C and 70-80%, respectively;
• yarovoe - + 16 ... + 20 ° C and 50-70%.

If you comply with these requirements, you do not have to be asked why garlic rotes, germinates or sluggish when it is still stored and stored.

Harvest storage

Immediately it should be noted that for the winter it is better to stock up with a native garlic, and from long-term storage of winter it is completely refused.

This is exactly the most experienced owners come. Winter they laid for long-term storage only if its harvest, whose collection approached, turned out to be more than it was possible to eat garlic fresh or recycle when cooking and vegetable stocks for the winter. No matter how try, but this kind of more than 3-4 months can not save. Winter B. more thanthan spring, exposed to the storage of the manifestation of various garlic diseases and often rotates. It can save him from this and significantly increase the period of leaving in a fresh form, but only with a tangible loss of taste and fragrance of vegetable. For this you need winter.

Yarova can be preserved up to the new yield of winter without a significant loss of the taste, aroma and vitamins. In addition, it is still permissible to contain in conditions intended for winter. True, it will be stored at the same time, it will be much less laid and quickly loses the fragrance, freshness and beneficial properties.

Winter stored in conditions for spring, warm, it is impossible. He very soon begins to grow and dry, or he is amazed and he is rotting.

Otherwise, during storage, some of the vegetables or even more of their quantity can be lost. You should not collect a bonded garlic and the more impossible to harvest for the winter fear. Cleaning term:

• winter - approximately from mid-July and before the beginning of August;
• yarovoe - the second half-end of August.

Signs, testifying to the maturation and occurrence of the cleaning time of the first type of garlic - began to crack the wrappers of inflorescences and shut down the lower leaves. At the same time, the covering flashes are dry and all thinner.

Summer must be assembled when the bottom leaves are dried, and the upper will begin to yellow and descend. For both types of garlic, an important evidence of what it is ripe is the characteristic state of the covering head of the scales. They must be thin and durable.

Ripe bulbs
