Leeks aren't to be planted until they are about the diameter of a No.2
school pencil, and then they are placed in a trench which is slowly
filled in to give the blanched portion of the leek.
They can also be planted deep using a dibble and then compost, mulch,
etc (you know the routine) added....to accomplish the same end.

We just use a dibble and drop in the leek, we don't fill it in;
watering always releases a little soil.

Interesting as leek culture got me thinking they do not exist in the
wild. Stuff casting out seeds and a few manage to produce replicates.
So a pointed hole and a young plant and the chances increase.
Thank you Judith
