Kale needs space to grow
Kale: Keep the correct planting distance
As with all plants, the kale needs to be kept at the correct planting distance. If the plants are too dense, they hinder growth, they are too far apart, give away space in your vegetable patch. Find out which planting distance kale has to meet.
The right planting distance for kale
Kale can grow up to a meter 50 in size and for such a stately size, of course, he needs space. Therefore, when planting kale a planting distance of 40 to 50cm must be observed.
Another important factor is the sowing depth. The seeds should be sown deep enough so that they can not be reached by pests and still find their way to the surface. A guideline for this is a depth of about 2cm.
Note crop rotation
Kale is one of the cruciferous vegetables and is a starvation giver, so for three years after the cultivation of cabbage no cross-flowering plants were to be planted at this location.
