Leek is a perennial vegetable with a particularly strong adaptability, so it can be grown in many parts of our country.
The cultivation time of leeks usually depends on the season and region. In the south, leeks are generally grown from spring to autumn, between February and August. In the north, leeks are usually grown from spring to summer, between March and July.
The following is the planting time and method of leek:
1. Planting time.
1.Spring sowing should be early and not late, spring when the local temperature is stable at 6 10 can be sown, at this time the ground is not completely cleared, the return to the pulp period is not to the surface is relatively wet, it is easy to emerge, this sowing method also avoids grass damage.
2.Summer sowing is generally sown after cucumber and tomato strike, at this time the temperature is high and prone to drought and waterlogging, the sowing amount is about one-third larger than that of spring, the covering soil is not easy to be too thick, keep the soil moist, and help to produce the whole seedling.
3.Autumn sowing is generally sown around the beginning of autumn, and the sowing amount is twice as large as that in spring, and the management is mainly dry and wet. Autumn sowing is generally not recommended.
Second, the planting method.
