Every hostess knows about the beneficial properties and methods of use, there are usually no problems with the landing, but it's not enough problems with fresh and juicy for everyone.
The secret of successful storage of garlic consists of performing several conditions.
Terms of cleaning
Let's start with the most important component - timely cleaning. It should be borne in mind that garlic is divided into:- Spring- This is a summer garlic (some are called autumn). He does not shoot. The signal to the beginning of cleaning is considered yellowed and seasoned.
Usually, skar garliccleanin the second half of August.
- Winter - Winter garlic. It happens swinging and unstring.
It is possible to determine the period of ripening of winter garlic by the following features:
- skin of inflorescences cracks;
- wishes bottom leaves;
- the flakes of the bulbs became thin and dry.
So, your garlic shows obvious signs of maturity. If it is dry and warm weather, proceed to cleaning.
With harvesting harvest, you should not delay, otherwise you risk getting a reduced quality product that will be badly stored. Signs of overwhelmed garlic:
- clawing flakes blurred;
- heads disintegrate on the teeth;
- young roots appeared on the bottom of the bulb.
How to clean garlic
They dig by a shovel or forks (I prefer for a pitchfork - so the bulbs are less damaged), laid out for drying.
Redhead with heads and roots are excessive soil, the foliage is left. In clear weather, we are dry garlic right on the ridge about 5 days. In wet - under a canopy or in a well-ventilated room. You can also endure in the sun in the afternoon, and in the evening it is possible to clean it in the warm room.
After drying, cut the roots (leaving about 3 mm) and stalks (leaving up to 10 cm). Before booking for storage, we sort the heads in size.
Such cleaning will provide the best storage in the winter.
Temperature Storage Garlic
Storage B. warm: + 16 ° С ... + 20 ° С - optimal conditions for yarovoe garlic.Storage B. cold: + 2 ° С .... + 4 ° С - the most that neither there are successful conditions for garlic ozimo. Winter garlic is poorly adapted to long-term storage: it is often amazed by various diseases, loses moisture.
At the storage location should not be too dry (garlic dry) and not too damp (garlic will be susceptible to diseases): optimal Humidity - 50-80%.
It is important: Very good fierce in bulbs with 3 crumbling scales.

Garlic Storage Methods
Spit.We always weave from garlic braids: leave a false stem and a bun, and remove the leaves. In order for the product to be durable, the twine is also crowded. At the end of the spit make a loop.
The pigtail can be hung in the closet, and in the storage room, and in the basement. The main thing is that there was dark, cool, not too damp.
In beams. In my opinion, the best way to store garlic - in beams (I also call them brooms).
I leave the stalks long enough to tie them together in a mini-pan. And hanging in the corridor - under the very ceiling.
Storage in grids.In the process of storage, it is desirable to check garlic for the presence of spoiled heads.
I like not to lay grids with garlic, but hang them.
Braided baskets.Grandmother keeps onions and garlic in brazed wicker baskets in the attic or in the saint (cool room in front of the entrance to the residential part of the house). Such a container, as practice shows, is positively affected by the preservation of garlic.
My mom is far from weaving braids and storage of garlic in wicker baskets, so (at your own risk) has tried another method.
Storage in sterilized banks.Pure, not purified from scales, well-dryed garlic is folded into glass jars (pre-sterilized), speaking a large salt head.
The method justified mother's hope: salt did not allow diseases to get to the harvest.
Storage in wooden boxes with salt.Instead of cans, you can take shallow wooden boxes.
Important: Salt use only large!
Storage in linen bags.Some keep the precious product in linen bags. Depending on the humidity of the air, the heads of garlic can be shielded with a onion husk ( low humidity) or rinse in a concentrated solid salt ( high Humidity), after which he dried, and then add in the bag.
Such treatment helps protect the bulbs from pests and diseases.
Council: Keep garlic apart from other vegetables.
Possible problems when storing garlic
Often, observing all the conditions for cleaning and storing garlic, we notice the mold in the bulbs or find dried heads, or suddenly we discover that garlic let the roots. How to avoid this?Mold
Black rot or green mold appear primarily on damaged or frozen bulbs. And if there is a high temperature and humidity in the room, the "green plague" quickly captures all new and new heads.Drying in the sun helps to prevent such a problem (straight sunny rays are detrimental for mushrooms, molds and bacteria): Garlic acquires some immunity to help him resist diseases.
Drying
It happens when moisture evaporates from garlic. Pulk the bulbs in the melted paraffin: a protective layer is formed, which will delay moisture inside, will be protected from diseases. The stem in the process of respiration highlights carbon dioxide, which will accumulate in a bulb, destroying pathogens of microorganisms.Premature growth of roots
To avoid this problem, many hostesses before laying on the storage "fall" by the Donets. Well, if the garlic has already entered the roots, then clean the teeth and place in sunflower oil. You can get them as needed, besides, you still get fragrant garlic oil! In this way, we store garlic in the refrigerator for about 4 months: oil is amazingly delicious, and the garlic in the raw form did not impress me (but you can use for cooking).
For storage of garlic in oil you will need:
- sterile packaging (bank, a bottle with a wide neck);
- purified garlic cloves;
- vegetable oil: olive, sunflower, linen.
Storage of garlic in the apartment
In the apartment, we are surrounded from all sides with heating and heating devices, but to save garlic, with such work mined at the cottage, it is still possible. Choose a place away from batteries and fireplaces for it: cool storage room, refrigerator, unheated, but insulated balcony (so that garlic is not fromge).Growing garlic - The case is simple, even a novice gardener will easily cope with it. Much difficulty causes harvest and its proper storage. It is necessary to know some nuances that will allow preserve garlic heads safe and preservation for the entire winter.
Harvest time
The harvest time is a very important factor in the preservation of garlic heads. Heads should be caused, but at the same time not overwhelmed.
Severe two types: Summer and. Dates of ripening in these two species are different.
Ripening of spring garlic is determined by the state of its foliage. Swimming leaves will be a signal that the crop is ready to collect.
For storage, it is better to plant winter garlic. Its ripening is determined by the yellowed lower foliage and at cracking inflorescences. Usually, the complete ripening of such garlic occurs in the second half of July.
Do not slow down with cleaning garlic. If the head is easy to decay on separate teeth, it means that the garlic has already been overripe. Such fruits will be stored badly, so they are better than letting them in food. At the same time, it is necessary to know that the unfortunate garlic is also poorly suitable for storage, it will become loose and soft.
Preparation Before harvesting
It is necessary to start preparing for drying from the moment of collecting garlic. The soil from which garlic will be removed should be good, so a couple of days before that moment, plants should be stopped. After the heads are dug, they can be cleaned of dirt and the top layer of husk.
(Reklama) can not be washed, otherwise it may soon start refusing. Do not cut off the dug garlic nor the foliage nor the stem with roots. For drying garlic, the dry and cool room is best suited.
How to dry garlic with whole heads?
After full ripening of the head of garlic, it is necessary to store in a well ventilated room and with a temperature regime that does not exceed 10 ° C heat. Dry garlic follows as follows:
- Remove the top layer of the husks from the heads, put the heads into one layer so that the gaps remain between them, and there were no contact.
- After a couple of months, garlic will dry. The ending signal will be wrung roots and brown foliage.
- After that, the roots cut off, leaving no more than 6 mm. It is necessary to remove the foliary so that the teeth are not denaked. The stem is cut into a distance of 2.5 cm from the head.
Drying purified garlic
After the garlic matures and will be removed from the ground, it is cleaned of a dirty top husk. Next, the garlic is cleaned completely from a durable husk, and the heads are divided into pieces whose thickness is about 5-6 mm. After that, garlic slices should be distributed over the sieve and dry in the oven.
For drying garlic, it is necessary to heat the oven to 50 ° C. After that, give the time to garlic to cool to room temperature, after which it can be shifted in the tank and close well with a lid. If there is a desire, then you can store garlic as a powder. For this, dried garlic should be added to the coffee grinder and grind. Store like a spice with the conservation of smell and taste will be within one year.
Every year, on the outcome of the summer, the same question rises: "How to save garlic to spring?". Despite the abundance of options, it is not always possible to fulfill all possible ways at home. It happens that the year turned out to be so harvest that the old, proven storage methods of garlic are no longer suitable. In this article we will talk about how it is better to dig up this plant, in what conditions a drying passes how to collect material for landing and, of course, how to store garlic.
After the garlic is passed, it is important to fully withstand it the first 7-10 days. During this period, vegetative processes in the plant are still occurring, and in order to get high-quality seed material or bulbs with good fierce, you need to give him to get sequished. Best of all, the drying passes under the canopy when the sun's rays do not fall on the bulbs. Despite the dense husk, the plant can easily get a burn, which will lead to it.
Subsequent after digging, storage should pass in a dry atmosphere with low air temperature. It should be understood that even the dried raw materials can spoil, for example, to be covered with mold or rot. In compliance with all rules, the storage of garlic will be held without problems.
A little about cleaning garlic
Cleaning garlic with beds - responsible occupation, should not blindly rely on good luck in this matter. Remember that winter grades need to dig in mid-July (or guided by the vegetative period of variety), and the Svorov in the middle of August, up to the beginning of September. So it is impossible to wait for the sea by the sea, allowing the bulbs to permerene. Sendance, in general, is stable in the case of this culture - the shelf life is noticeably reduced, as well as the resistance to the fungal microflora.
When the leaves of the plant begin to turn yellow, and the husk on the bulb will become dense, it is best to immediately dig it.
Harvesting must be carried out in warm, dry weather. Take it on the morning or evening hours when the sun is not so active. Harvesting from the Sun is one of the most important tasks. Take the pitchfork and carefully find the bulbs from under the ground. Of course, you can use a shovel, but this increases the risk of cutting roots or bulbs.
When all the heads are above the ground, transfer them under a canopy, clean from the ground and leave.
Drying under the canopy lasts from 7 to 10 days. All this time, it is impossible to cut roots and stems, because the plant needs to calmly complete all internal processes.
Preparation of garlic to storage ends when for 11-12 days you cut the roots, leaving only 2 cm length, and also shorten the stem to 5-6 cm.
Methods
The storage of garlic occurs in different ways, the choice of which depends on the amount of fruits and free space in your cellar or refrigerator. You can combine different options among them. For example, when the place is running in the refrigerator, spend the dried heads on the balcony, and then trim the head every time you need. There is no single answer to the question "How to store garlic properly", since correctness is determined only by storage conditions.
So how to keep garlic when cleaning and drying end?
Box
Probably one of the most ergonomic ways - wooden or cardboard boxes. In the walls you need to do ventilation holes, to cover with salt, sawdust or ash. Then you need to alternate the layers of garlic heads with salt / sawdust / ash while you do not fulfill the box. When this happens, put it in a dry, cool place.
Bank
A great way to clean the heads and fold the cloves into the jar. Pre-jar must be sterilized and dried. There are two options, how to store garlic in a jar: in flour and in oil.
Rock cloves in a jar, plump flour, and then close the lid tightly. Thus, the cloves retain freshness within 2-3 months.
Oil storage technology is similar. When you choose what butter to fill (sunflower, corn, olive), pour them the teeth, close the lid with the holes and put in the refrigerator. Thus, it is possible to store garlic to 3 months. Oil, by the way, then you can use in cooking.
Powder
Collection and cleaning of garlic may seem smaller of evil when it comes to cook it to storage.
Clean the teeth, cut them with the plates and dry in the oven. Then overtake it in the powder and store in a jar with a tight adjacent lid. Garlic powder does not lose taste and nutritional properties, besides less often deteriorates.
Paches
Collection and drying of garlic heads in the bags are another version of ergonomic storage of the harvest. In the linen kotomics fold onion husks and garlic heads, tightly tied and suspended in a dark, dry, cooler place. Such a way helps to protect the bulbs from insects, as well as mold.
Paraffin
The treatment of garlic bulbs hot paraffin was actively used on vegetable beds in the past century. Melt the paraffin on fire or water bath, and then alternately immerse all the heads of garlic in it, holds for the stem. After it freezes, fold into the cool place, for example, a refrigerator.
Solving possible problems
It should be noted that all problems in the storage of garlic arise exclusively due to disorders of the conditions. In order not to spoil the sowing material and the fragrant food additive, do not allow high humidity. Ideally, it should be zero. The best garlic is stored at air temperature + 2-5 degrees. It helps him next year to actively develop the root system, speeds up the growing season.
At the stage of the selection of bulbs, make sure that they are not accumulated, wormochin, rot, and mechanical damage. Select only the whole and strong bulbs, because it is they will serve as good raw materials for cultivation, and also be better preserved until spring.

If everything is clear with the cessation of watering and making fertilizers, then everything is so simple with drying. Some gardeners think that the couples of the day are enough to dry vegetables and send them to the winter. However, it is not. The drying time of garlic depends on weather conditions, and not only the weather is taken into account, during which the drying of vegetables passes, but also the weather that was before harvesting.

After the specified time, the drying of garlic should be continued, but already under a canopy or in a well-ventilated room. For this, vegetables should be transferred to the place specifically allotted for this, decompose them on a flat surface or suspend, toning for the stems, and leave another two-day.
How to dry garlic after digging in rainy weather
If it is rained for a long time and in the near future it is not forerunged by sunny days, it is impossible to postpone the collection of vegetables. Drop vegetables and try to remove the lumps of the earth from each head. If it fails to do this, in no case do not wash garlic, but send it to this form. Collect plants in five to seven bundles, tie them for the stems and hang out in a well-ventilated room (shed, attic). Leave the garlic to dry at least seven days.
It's not very difficult to grow garlic. It does not require much care. But to keep it juicy all winter is much more difficult. For longer storage, garlic requires a long drying so that he can keep all its properties for the winter. It is impossible to cut garlic and you need to know some methods for the correct storage of the product after harvesting.
Duration of digging garlic for the winter
Garlic is two types: Summer and winter. They differ in terms of collecting and planting, as well as the storage temperature. Yarova refers to the category of summer, autumn garlic. He is collected when the leaves begin to shut up. This period falls on the second half of August.
Winter garlic refers to the winter. His fee falls at the end of July, and maturity is determined by external signs. It should be followed if the inflorescences began to crack, it is time to get to the collection, if the bottom leaves are yellowing, then the garlic is ready.
It should be not allowed to peer garlic, otherwise his term will be injured not long. You can determine by some signs when garlic overreres:
- scales on the head fell off;
