feeding leeks later in the year?
Hello everyone
Last year I had a miserable outcome from my leeks, which were small & spindly - despite digging in plenty of well rotted manure in the soil previous to planting them. To ensure I get a better crop this year my question is, do I need to feed them again, later in the year? And if so, with what kind of feed. Many thanks for your replies

I don't feed them but do cut some of the top green growth off and cook with it. My way, not saying it's the done thing.
KEF, what a good idea
I tend to put organic chicken manure pellets all over my veg bed and that seems to cope with most things
Am still eating fab leeks from last year.
Many thanks for the replies folks. Maybe it was just a bad year for leeks? But as they do have a very long growing season, I may well add a bit of chicken manure pellets late on - if they aren't doing too well. Thanks again. Nicki 7
