How to plant garlic with Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch to increase yield in the garden.

Novamulch paper represents a decisive step towards much more efficient and sustainable agriculture. This material is designed to accelerate the vegetative development of garlic, promoting more uniform growth from the earliest stages of cultivation.

Novamulch paper mulch allows for proper soil aeration and drainage, preventing problems of excess moisture or compaction that can occur with conventional agricultural plastics or even biodegradable plastics.

How to plant garlic in the garden using Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch.

If we want to improve the performance of our garlic crop in the garden, implementing the strategy of doing it with Novamulch paper will bring us a significant reduction in costs.

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a demanding crop in its early stages, especially in weed control and soil moisture management.

This is where Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch sets a clear competitive advantage over other systems, as it is recommended for these horticultural crops due to its direct impact on productive efficiency and its contribution to significantly improving moisture retention and irrigation efficiency.

Essential steps for planting garlic in the garden.

1. Soil preparation:
Till the soil to a depth of 20-30 cm.
Incorporate compost or organic matter.
Level the surface.
It is important to note that garlic needs loose, well-drained soil.

2. Installing Novamulch:
Spread the paper over the properly cleaned and prepared ground.
Secure it at the edges with soil to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Make holes according to the recommended planting pattern.

3. Planting the garlic cloves:
Place each clove with the pointed end facing upwards.
Bury 3-5 cm deep.
Spacing: 10-15 cm between plants, and 20-30 cm between rows.

4. Efficient irrigation management in garlic cultivation in the garden.
Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch acts as a barrier that significantly reduces water evaporation from the soil, allowing for consistent moisture in the root zone.

This is especially important in garlic, as sudden changes in humidity can affect bulb development.

Thanks to this water stability, the frequency of irrigation can be reduced without compromising crop growth, thus optimizing water consumption and associated costs.

How to plant garlic in a greenhouse using Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch.

The use of Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch in greenhouses makes crop installation much easier and faster.

In this environment, it is not usually necessary to fix the paper to the sides, as the absence of wind prevents the material from moving.

The process is simple: just spread the paper evenly over the ground, make the planting holes and place the garlic seedlings.

This reduces working times, improves crop efficiency and optimizes available resources, especially in greenhouses for extensive agricultural purposes.

Advantages of harvesting garlic in a garden with Novamulch paper mulch.

One of the main advantages of harvesting garlic with Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch appears right at the end of the growing cycle. Unlike other systems, it’s not necessary to remove the material from the soil after harvesting, which significantly simplifies post-harvest tasks and reduces operating costs..

Once the garlic has been harvested, simply shred the paper scraps left on the ground, allowing them to decompose naturally into the soil. In just a few weeks, the material will completely degrade without leaving any visible residue, thus eliminating the need for additional cleaning or waste management.

Furthermore, Novamulch paper is made from 100% biodegradable materials, without harmful dyes or additives, ensuring that its decomposition does not negatively affect soil quality or the safety of subsequent crops. On the contrary, its integration helps improve soil structure, favoring future agricultural cycles.

Examining these characteristics, we find that using Novamulch paper, especially for planting garlic in gardens, represents an efficient, sustainable, and economically advantageous solution, since in this case, optimizing each phase of the process is key to profitability.

Application of NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch in the vegetable garden

Especially in adverse climatic zones, where exposure to sunlight and water scarcity are common and almost permanent, implementing Novamulch paper for planting garlic in gardens or greenhouses becomes essential.

Novamulch paper acts as a protective barrier against evaporation, allowing the soil to retain moisture for longer. This is crucial in water-scarce areas, where every irrigation must be used to its fullest potential. By maintaining more stable moisture in the root zone, water stress in the plants is reduced, promoting more uniform garlic development.

This type of mulch helps regulate soil temperature, preventing overheating that can damage roots or stunt crop growth. Unlike other materials, paper allows for better transpiration, creating a balanced microclimate that protects the crop even in extreme conditions.

Another determining factor is the reduction of competition for resources, as mulching limits the occurrence of weeds that compete for water and nutrients. This is especially important in harsh environments, where available resources are more scarce.

The use of mulch in summer requires special attention, since materials such as agricultural plastic or even the so-called “biodegradable plastic” can cause an excess temperature in the soil, generating thermal stress in the roots and negatively affecting the development of the garlic crop.

In this context, the Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch offers a clear advantage. During the hottest months, it can be installed by placing the light brown side upwards, which allows to reduce heat absorption and prevent overheating of the soil. This characteristic is key to maintaining more stable conditions in the root zone.

In addition, unlike conventional plastic, Novamulch paper stands out for its high breathability, which facilitates soil ventilation and allows the plant to “breathe” even in high temperature conditions. This helps to protect the roots, improve water balance and maintain uninterrupted garlic growth, even in the middle of summer.

Placing NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch in our garden

First step: We will proceed to spread our roll of biodegradable Novamulch paper on the surface where we are going to put our garlic.

Second step: We will make a small trench on the sides, and then cover our NovaMulch paper padding so that it does not move with the wind.

Step Three: Once we have the paper spread out and fixed, we will proceed to mark with an X or by cutting a piece of paper to proceed with the planting of the garlic.

Step Four: Water the garlic.

Step Five: Achieve a healthy harvest free of pests and diseases.
