I planted my leeks nearly three weeks ago and did the usual way of making holes and ropping them in then watering but not filling in the holes. Problem is the holes have still notfilled in. Should I just fill them myself?

They'll sort themselves out, give them time.  The little plantlets are very tempting to birds, though, it might be an idea to net them till they're established.   ;) ;) ;) ;)

That's ok, then.My only worry is that I made the holes with a bulb planter so they are quite wide.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the leeks grow into the holes, the idea being that you don't get soil  between the leaves Dont know if its true though

My leek holes are just getting full now and they were transplanted 6 weeks ago.  Yours will be fine.
