there a suggestion as to what/when to feed in the spring? Our beds receive well

lots of manure, you may not need to feed in the Spring – once you take
foliar feeding off the table, folks really preferred to give slow-release
nutrients when garlic is planted in the fall – beds of manure/straw or site-made
compost or putting soybean or corn gluten meal in the planting furrows.
Unfortunately, with the GMOS, if you’re certified organic, you may not be
able to use the meals anymore. High organic matter and high cation exchange
capability in the soil seemed to be more important than any particular fertilizer,
which is why the cover crops (buckwheat in summer or oats for winter kill) were
so important if you couldn’t mulch. <<Do
you have the names of the basic 12?>> No, that information
was supposed to be on the Garlic Seed Foundation website, but it’s not.
I’m going to see if I can get a copy from Gayle Volk of the complete
detailed DNA map – once you know how to read it, it explains A LOT and
for those of us who maintain collections, it shows what varieties we can
consolidate and which “offshoots” we should be trialing. The DNA
map only included the 400 types in the USDA collection – they are working
on a $20 protein test that growers like us would be able to send in whatever
garlic we have and they would be able to tell us what it is against the DNA
list. Unfortunately, that test is still a few years away. Dorene Dorene Pasekoff, Coordinator A mission of |
