  • personally i think u are planting them all wrong, leek roots should be trimmed to 20mm and a small hole should be made in the soil with a dibber, drop the leeks into the hole, fill with water, NOT soil, that is the way i have always be taught and that is the way i grow my leeks with %100 growth everytime

  • @davidhaythornthwaite

    Fair enough. Ours worked out quite well, absolute success each year. I understand your method as well, if it works that's great. I'm sure there are quite a few different ways to do this all working well. Thank you for the response.

    

  • did you ever make the garlic drying rack video?

    ps. great videos.

  • @sxysccr11s

    No. I'm sorry. Totally forgot about that. I could take a pic for you and send it to ya. I still have it in the shop, should be using it rather soon.

  • Is this transfer technique good for leaks only? or can I aplly to any plants seedlings that need to transfer to flower beds?

    Please reply soon.

    Thanks.

  • @chandnee This particular method would be for onions and leeks. Not to be used for other crops.

  • @foxy358 Correct. I use a hole about 1" in diameter.

  • @palui Hi , i have heard of this method, so basically if i make a 9" hole , just drop a single leek in and do nothing to cover the roots over, is that right?. don't bother to fill the hole.

  • wiki leeks, excellent!

  • Miku!!!!(*Ahem*sorry)
