Because leeks have a relatively shallow root system, they need relatively regular watering. Especially in periods when we don’t have much rainfall, we should water abundantly and not let the soil dry out. Leeks are quite demanding in their fertilization. When preparing the soil before planting it is important to incorporate manure and complete organic fertilizer. Also, it is necessary to add organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen twice during cultivation.
