How to Grow

From seed

Kohlrabi seed is best sown when soil temperatures are between 8oC and 30oC.

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.

Enrich with fertilizer.

Sow seeds directly planting them in clumps of 2-3 seeds, 10-15cm apart, and 30-40cm between rows.

Cover lightly with seed raising mix, keep the soil moist so the seeds don't dry out.

Water regularly.

Once seedlings emerge, thin seedlings at each clump to the strongest.

Feed weekly with plant food.

Water in your seedlings well.

Choose a pot at least 30cm wide and deep, and position in a sunny spot.

FIll with quality potting mix.

Sow seed directly into pot, planting them in clumps of 2-3 seeds.

Cover lightly with seed raising mix and water well.

From Plant

Don't mound earth around growing plants and remove weeds by shallow cultivation in between plants.

Ready to harvest

Harvest by pulling the bulbs out early or when the bulbs are between 5-7cm in diameter.

Early pulling spreads the harvest.
