"Pure Product" company, which grows garlic in the Dnipropetrovsk area, has manually harvested 70 tons of high-quality solo cloves this year from the aerial bulb crops and sent them for export.
This was reported by the company's founder, Serhiy Parashchenko, in his article for the "Gardening Ukrainian-style" magazine. "And now we have already purchased a specialized combine for harvesting solo cloves," he added. "So, things will move even faster and on a larger scale!"
With his experience, the agrarian refutes the opinion that growing garlic from aerials is difficult and unlearnable. "It's important not just to collect any aerial bulbs, but specifically those that meet certain standards and preferably taken from the primary nursery of garlic planting material," Parashchenko wrote.
