How do leeks survive the winter in the field? How do leeks grow well?

1. How to survive the winter

1. Watering with anti-freezing water: Only by watering with anti-freezing water in time can better wintering be guaranteed. You have to get the timing of watering right, it won’t work either too early or too late. If you do it too early, the moisture will be absorbed and it will not have any antifreeze effect. Watering too late can easily cause frost damage. Not only will it fail to prevent frost, it will also aggravate the frost damage. Start watering in early December every year and water thoroughly.

2. Cultivate the soil and apply fertilizer: Although leeks have entered a dormant stage in winter, they still need to be fertilized appropriately. 1,500 kilograms of human urine and manure fertilizer should be applied to each acre of land, and the soil should be cultivated. Mulching the soil can protect its roots from freezing. Usually, soil should be piled up three times throughout the winter, and the soil should be piled up near the roots. In addition, you can also cover it with hay, which can also serve as an anti-freeze measure.

2. How to plant well

If you want the chives to grow better, soak the seeds before planting. If there are any shriveled ones, pick them out. This will increase its germination rate. And it needs to be germinated. Soak it in water for two days and then plant it after it opens. It is best to plant in spring, with a row spacing of 10 cm and a plant spacing of 2 cm. It should not be too dense, otherwise it will affect growth. When they grow to 10 cm in length, they can be harvested and eaten. In addition, pay attention to applying appropriate fertilizer after each harvest to promote better germination.
