Leeks are a good, hardy Winter crop; they need well prepared soil with plenty of organic material and general-purpose fertiliser. Plant leeks with a dibbler making holes 10 - 15 cm deep. Feed with side dressing of nitrogenous fertiliser, we recommend pelletised chicken manure, two to four weeks after planting
Longina is a quick growing variety with "good shaft strength". Wonderful sauces can be made with leeks and they team beautifully with butter, mustard and white wine.
