Mine don’t get to pencil size, same with the onions, when you put them both leeks in, cut the roots back a bit, and the tops. I sow one seed to a home made paper module.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I have had success for then last two years and failed the last 30. I grew them in raised beds; one year leaf compost underneath and this year garden compost. These were Red Onions from seed.

I do put a few inches of home made compost on the ground every year but not Growmore.
