This year we spaced the leeks 20cm apart in the row – quite close – and they look well.

Growing leeks closer together produces something like a mini-leek.

The leeks do not grow huge, and they are better to eat.  We prefer a medium sized leek to a coarse giant one.

.There are several advantages of narrow spacing for leeks:

  • increases production per square meter
  • produces a smaller leek
  • ideal for small families
  • fresh leeks every meal – instead of eating half one day & eating the other half after storing in the fridge

 

Planting leeks with narrow spacing has been well worthwhile.
