Spring Chores 2023


In Spring it's time to inspect, #fertilize, water and weed our garlic.


As you can see from this picture the compressed straw, after a #PEI winter, acting as a mulch now takes on a new job as a weed suppressant. The garlic doesn't have to compete for nutrients and results in a stronger, healthier plant.... plus the straw holds moisture. An added bonus!

@upbackfarms we #fertilize our garlic with fish emulsion which is applied as a foliar using an old repurposed crop sprayer, see below. Weather permitting we will get two to three applications done before the scapes are harvested in June.

Thanks and until next time. #peigarlic
