Soil: Soil Leek can handle most soil types, but it should be free draining. Don’t over-fertilize the soil prior to planting leeks as this will make them more susceptible to frost damage. Mixing in compost will suffice.
Soil pH Level: 6.5-7.5
Position: Shade tolerant, so this is a good crop to take up that 'less than ideal' spot in the patch.
How to Plant: Propagate in seed trays and transplant a month after germination or sow directly to veggie patch when the temperature is above 7 degrees as they can become stunted by frost.
Spacing: 10 - 15cm
Depth: 0.5-1cm
Companion Plants: Carrots
Approximate no. of seeds: 80-90
Note: The Little Vege Patch Co source all of their seeds locally and in small batches to ensure they remain at their maximum viability for germination
