Growing tips

Thrives in a sunny or semi-shaded place. When planting out, insert about 10 cm/3.9 in deep into the soil. Harden off beforehand if necessary. By mounding, the white shafts become longer and the leeks are protected from frost. In August fertilize for the last time, otherwise the winter hardiness suffers. In case of bare frost and very cold weather, cover the beds with fleece. Good for soil health by loosening the soil from the roots of leeks.
