Morning all, i've got a tray of Lyon Prizetaker leeks, that are about 3" high in a tray of compost,and there must be getting on for 100 in all, what do i do with them next? as i tried to gently coax a couple to put in a large plug tray so i could transplant to the lottie when they are a bit taller, but they were a difficult to pull out without breaking the roots, could anyone put a novice at ease? :)
I suppose it's easy when you've been gardening since Adam and Eve, but when you are new you make mistakes.Sand
They are currently in potting compost in plugs. Is this best option to transplant them into multi-purpose compost in single pots or to plant them straight onto the allotment this small?
