Hello...hivers all over the World, I will share experience about leek cultivation.
Leek is one type of vegetable from the onion group with the latin Allium fistulosum. Characterzed by naving a long shape and dark green at the ends.
While the stems are light leeks are a type of vegetable that is very popular among Indonesian people. Green onion is often used by the community as a complement to cooking ingredients.
Growing leeks is not difficult, I grow leeks for my own consumtion as a kitchen spice. First the garden media using a mixture of soil, manure or compost.
The planting media that I use pot, polybags, or used paint cons. Choose tersile, loose, and nutrient soil. Choosing a quality onion, can make the seedlings of green onion.
By buying on the market, choose healthy, and not diseaced. It's time to plant scallions, take the onion seeds from the nursery.
Make a planting area in the media according to the size of the needs, put the seeds and press the soil around the seeds a little to make them solid.
Them put the pot in the shade for a few days. With sunlight, do watering and pest control.leek plants can be harvested at the age of seventy- five days.
Or it can be seen in terms of the clumps if there are a lot of them, dark green with a little hard, and the bottom has started to turn yellow. For a home scale, chives can be harvested several times by choising old leeks.
Then cut and leave the young tillers so they can consinue to grow and be able to varvest in the future. Thank you.
