Default when to plant leaks

The message
from "Paul" contains these words:

i have some leaks growing which are in the greenhouse they are about 8
inches tall, could i plant them out now?


yes

also i have read on the net that
when planting them make a hole in the ground with a dibber and just put
the
leak and water, but do not backfill with soil, is that correct?


Yes. Once you have placed the leek in the hole, fill the hole right to
the top with water. You only need do it once.
