Plant Garlic Bulbils Late September to Early October for a Healthy Harvest
Gardeners are advised to plant kitchen onion bulbils from late September to early October to ensure a healthy harvest. This involves specific care to encourage root growth while preventing early garlic-like growth.
Bulbils, small garlic-like structures, can be obtained by allowing 2-3 scapes on a garlic plant to mature fully, harvesting them when the husk begins to crack. Before planting, allow the bulbils to root but not sprout. The optimal planting scheme involves rows 20 cm apart, with bulbils placed 3-4 cm apart within rows, and planted 2-3 cm deep.
This method allows garlic to be grown using bulbils instead of traditional cloves. The key is to encourage root growth before the first frost, ensuring the plants establish a strong root system that can withstand winter cold. This prevents energy from being diverted to garlic-like growth, which could make the plants vulnerable to frost damage.
Planting garlic bulbils from late September to early October, with a careful planting scheme and focus on root growth, ensures a healthy garlic crop. This method allows gardeners to grow garlic using bulbils, providing a robust harvest even in colder months.
