Top 3 Tricks For Growing Amazing LEEKS! 

I’ve been doing my leeks the exact same way for years but with the wooden handle of a rake because I’m just growing small scale 50 leeks. I love explaining to friends and family the process. Lol. If I had better knees I would have been a market gardener until and beyond my retirement at least on some scale. I love how the movement to growing your own food is picking up steam over the last couple decades. It’s better for our kids and the future generations to come.

sharing tips and tricks. In little house in the prairie, they get frost July 4th. The family finds out, and gets up before sunrise to hand water the frost off all of the corn. This actually works on a wide variety of veg.

Thanks for another beautiful and interesting video. Q; Can you make a video about your windbreaks of plants/bushes/trees with birds and insects. The idea really appeals to me, when possible I would like to see some more explanation, since it was built a few years ago. Thanks again for your time and effort.

Your the man JM! Love to see your respect for the OGs! Thanks for another great video!

One question- when you put the leek in the hole, do you leave it open; or do you close it up with your hands like you would any other transplant?

appreciate the free grower knowledge for the community JM, been having trouble in particular with this crop. helps out a bunch, you da man 👊💚

People at markets have no idea what's involved in some of these crops, great video. We planted them deep in raised beds with good results.

Love the hat at the end JM! Soooo lucky to have Jodie as our mentor down here. Thanks mate!

I use a 1” x 9” wood auger bit in my battery operated drill to make the holes. Only do 50-100 plants. Works better than a stick because it doesn’t compress the soil on the sides.

Thanks for posting.

That dibber looks great! Is that a design specifically for leeks? Wondering if I made one, what else would it be useful for?

do you all get leek moths up there? if so how are you managing it? thanks

Have you guys been affect by la teigne? If so, how do you manage it? BTK? You're an inspiration as always!

Merci Jean-Martin!!

Hi- I'm in Houston. Our cool weather starts in Late October and ends in late April. Freezes are super light and rare. What would be best for us . . . . . Summer or Winter leeks? I like the idea of cold hardiness, but I also assume that the Winter varieties probably don't like our hot days. We have some hot days all the way to December and then we have some hot days also in February and March. What do you think? Thanks.

Do you trim the roots before planting?

How do you dig them out?

Where do you get your straw?

Is it worth making a planting ridge?....especially on shallower soil where 9" planting depth is close to the subsoil.

Where those handles steam bent or laminated? I am currently building a leek Dibbler

Eliot coleman was your inspiration...as you were mine J.M I hope me saying thank you is enough to pay you back

I know who Elliot Coleman is! He's from Maine and knew Scott and Helen!

My leeks got about 6-8 inches and then just quit growing. I transplanted them about 6” into fresh potting soil in a grow bag and they’ve not grown at all in 2 weeks.

Pleaaaaase what is the last music of the video ? Can't find it with Shazam ! Thank you someone

Hello ! Super interesting ! Thank you. I'm french. I try to improve my gardening...and my english by following your channel. It would be great if you could leave off the music when you are talking. It would help the comprehension. That is just a detail, nothing very important... but important to me. Many thanks for the content of your vedeos. Have a nice day ! Bye Mamiejo.

Do you have to fertilize your leeks ??. (And if you do, what do you use and how)

What have you found to be the hardest variety?
