Tips Kale

Soil preparation

  • Kale prefers rich, well-drained, and organic soil.
  • The soil pH should be slightly acidic, between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Add compost or well-decomposed manure to improve soil structure.
  • Ensure the soil is well-aerated to avoid compaction.
  • The soil should not be too wet or boggy.

Planting

  • Plant seedlings after the last frost in the spring.
  • Space plants 30 to 40 cm apart to give them enough room to grow.
  • Plant kale in a sunny or partially shaded location.
  • Ensure the roots are not exposed to air to prevent drying out.

Watering

  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
  • Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture.
  • Young plants need frequent watering to establish a good root system.

Fertilizer

  • Fertilize with a balanced compost or manure-based fertilizer.
  • Apply fertilizer in early spring when the plants begin to grow.
  • Do not use too much nitrogen fertilizer, as it may encourage leaf growth at the expense of stems.

Harvesting

  • Harvest kale when the leaves are young and tender.
  • You can harvest outer leaves as the new leaves continue to grow.
  • Do not leave leaves too long on the plant as they become tougher and less flavorful.
