Nowadays, growing vegetables on the balcony has become a fashion and is deeply loved by office workers. Planting leek on the balcony is the choice of many vegetable friends, planting leek can not only observe the leaves, but also continue to grow, compared to growing other vegetables on the balcony, leek is more convenient. Here I would like to introduce to you how to grow leeks.

First, leek sowing generally can use the old root and sowing two methods, but now it is not easy to find the old root in the city, so sowing is the best choice. Leek is generally sown in the early March of the lunar calendar and transplanted before the August Festival. It should be sparse when transplanting, five or six trees in a clump. The basic fertilizer for growing leeks should be sufficient, and the soil should be loose and fine. Leek is a perennial vegetable, the first stubble of the first year is called fetal leek, as thin as a needle can be regarded as a plant appreciation, and occasionally can eat leek as thin as a needle, very fragrant. Second, leek planting and sowing leek after a year can be transplanted to the flowerpot, each clump of 3 to 5, there should be an absolute distance, and then covered with about 5mm soil layer, and then watering on it, boil the first watering is absolutely to water, the next few days can be watered depending on the dryness of the soil, the soil can be slightly moist (water can not be too much, otherwise easy to rot roots). Third, fertilize leeks is a very fond of fertilizer vegetables, when growing to 15 centimeters, you can properly apply some organic fertilizer. The favorite fertilizers for leek are chicken and duck manure, human and animal manure, and grass ash. But these are all valuable in metropolises. Here I would like to introduce the easiest way: first, burn the peanut shells, waste paper and branches of your home in a waste iron basin (children should be accompanied by their parents, but don't create a fire alarm). You can make grass lime and turn waste into treasure. of course, you can also buy finished plant ash directly. As for other fat, such as urination and so on, vegetable friends can consider by themselves, . Fourth, the harvest of leeks is generally cut once every 15 days, and can be cut about 20 times a year. The chives should be cut in the early morning or dusk, and the mud should be cut with a sharp knife. Leeks are more drought-resistant and should be watered in the early morning if the weather is too dry. The forking power of leeks is strong, and the newly planted leeks can reach 30 or 40 per clump in two or three years. It is found that Midu is too high to be transplanted separately in real time. The planting method of growing leeks on the balcony has been introduced, so you might as well try to grow some leeks on your own balcony. Leek is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, vitamin C, folic acid, B vitamins, carotene, chlorophyll and dietary fiber and other nutrients, is a very harmonious food!
