Happy Urban Dirt

What are pores?

The pores are almost all -year -old crops and would be all year round if the winter ports did not sell so quickly.

We get our first cultivation in May from the transplant of additional early seedlings to the frosty home. (Seeds are sown on February 15 in our greenhouse running the plant.) Then we sell summer pores outside to September and autumn pores until November.

Pores in each season

Winter pores are available from the beginning of December to selling out, usually at the beginning of March. We exploit a different variety of pores for each season.

Summer and autumn pores are collected directly from the field with additional protection of the plastic sheet in the last autumn time in the second half of November.

We protect winter pores with a movable greenhouse starting at the beginning of December. We add the inner layer from mid -December until all pores are sold.

Cooking and eating time

The edible part of the leek is the white blanched stem. The greater the length of Blanched Por -the better the product.

Blanching can be achieved by collecting soil on the stalks leek. However, from our experience, the key to effective and intensive cultivation is the time to grow their own transplants and disturb them into deep planting holes.

By transplantation in transplants, and not necessarily the need for soil as the time increases, We are able to plant them more intensely-like three rows on a 30-inch bed with pores at a distance of 4 inches in a row.

Growing transplants time

Unlike many other of our crops, we do not authorize time in soil blocks.

Instead, we will grow them on the floor in our greenhouse, which started in a greenhouse in a 30 -inch width per 8 -inch on 3 inches with wooden sides filled with potted soil.

Swamy Beek seeds directly to these beds using a sixth seeder. We allow seedlings to grow in these beds until they are at least 10 inches high.

We dig them out of sowing, loosening the potted soil under them with a gun.

To prepare youthful plants for transplantation, we cut their roots to 1 inches in length and cut the upper part to 10 inches in length.

Dibble method

Our Dibble is a 36-inch 1-inch dowel at the end of the narrowing tip at the end.

Sometimes we attach the shoulder handle to the upper end of the dowel and add a 6 -inch diameter tile above the end.

In exploit, We push it into the soil to a full 9-inch depth And then twist the handle so that the top-cooled tip flattens the bottom of the 9-inch tubular opening.

Make sure the soil is humid

This is more effective if the soil is humid, because droughty soil will fall back to the hole after removing the crate. In this way, water the surface before the transplant when the conditions are droughty.

We make a hole every four inches along the row and just throw the transpinted time vertically into each hole.

Starting plants

When the cuttings are in the holes, only the inch of the green upper stick above the soil. Then we hydrate the field and let the time grow.

We do not intentionally complement the holes, but the soil slowly migrates every time we hydrate or grow.

Plants of pores grow beautifully, each with a guaranteed nine inches of blanked shaft. If you have never done this path before you are complex to believe that it will work – but yes.

Children’s pores

Our clients love early children. We grow in a frosty greenhouse with five rows to a 30-inch bed, spreading them at a distance of 3 inches in a row.

In this interval, they can be grown with a long weed handle. Once, when we had no other space, we planted single rows time between the edge bed and the greenhouse wall.

The Dibble-And Drop method is the only way we could do it.
