Când se plantează usturoiul de toamnă? Perioada ideală și diferențele față de usturoiul de primăvară • Newsweek România

Autumn garlic should be planted before winter to allow roots to develop. The ideal planting time is late September to October, depending on soil temperature. Garlic prefers well-drained, sunny locations and should not follow certain previous crops to avoid diseases. Healthy cloves are planted with the basal end down, spaced appropriately. Unlike spring garlic, autumn garlic matures earlier and produces larger bulbs. Timing is crucial; planting too early can lead to sprouting, while late planting may hinder root development. Proper soil preparation and mulching are essential for successful growth.
