Sorry rewind ...Epsom Salts ... how do I do this please ?
I thought Epsom Salts are a source of Magnesium, why will this be helping leaf development? I thought that was done by using Nitrogen.
I plant out my slips of 'grass' and after few days of watering I just let them get on with it, always get plenty to supply us for the year. If the leek moth makes an appearance I get out the shears and cut the tops off then leave them to grow again. I don't grow giants, but three leeks are enough for a meal for two.I've seen planting in holes, clipping roots, giving the tops a light clip and all sorts of feeding regimes. If they are just for eating and not showing, leave them alone. As for spacing, just leave enough room for hoeing.
