First prepare a wide pot or plastic pot for planting garlic. If there is no kundi, flower pots used at home can also be used. Fold the belly and give it a little firm shape. Now fill its bottom with kitchen organic waste, fruit peels, vegetable pieces and dried leaves. This waste decomposes in a few days to form natural fertilizer in the soil and provides good nutrition to the garlic plant.

Garlic needs humus and well-draining soil to grow well. While preparing the soil, mix cow dung, dried leaf litter and compost from household waste. This mixture becomes light, loose and non-watery. If the soil is too hard, the garlic root will not spread properly and the yield will decrease.

Proper preparation of cloves is very important for garlic cultivation. Break the garlic cloves and separate the cloves, but do not peel them. Also keep the lower root part of the petal safe. A new shoot emerges from this area. Planting only two or three bulbs of garlic can produce more than one kilo of garlic in a few months.

While planting the petals, keep the root part down and the pointed part up. It is okay if the top part of the petal looks a little out of the soil. It is important to keep proper spacing between the petals, so that they have enough room to grow. After planting, add a light humus of soil and press down gently to set.

Garlic does not need a lot of sunlight to grow. Always keep the soil slightly moist. If the soil remains too wet, there is a risk of petal rot, and if it is too dry, growth stops. So water should be given only as per requirement. Growing garlic at home in this way is very easy, cost-effective and free from chemical fertilizers, which is also beneficial for health.
