- Spacing: Space leeks about 6 inches apart to allow them to grow tall and thick.
- Sun Exposure: Full sun ensures optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but well-drained, especially during dry periods.
- Care Tips:
- Keep weeds under control and mound up soil around the base as leeks grow to promote the formation of white stems.
