leeks

Just wondering guys - my leeks are still pretty tiny but should I keep adding compost around the base of them to cover the white bits already? and only leave the leafy bits out of the soil?

How did you plant them?  How deep? and when?

With my leeks, I use a stick to make a hole about 2/3rds the length of the plant and then drop the leek in to the hole.  I think fill the hole with water.  I don't bother filling it with soil.

It takes quite a while for the leeks to fill out to an edible size.

you've just got to be patient.
