- Hello! Two months ago we put a handful of pores in our small garden; despite having read some advice and receiving a lot of aid, they are as miserable as we plant leeks. They have around them some weeds (in Spanish “aros”), and they cannot. In the photos you can see clearly… What can we do? We have tried to remove those herbs but they cannot be uprooted at the root! And also, as you say you leave it in your book… Can I help you? Olga Villa (Larraul).
Hi Olga. You're absolutely right, the leeks in the photo look miserable.
I will tell you the possibility that this situation may have its origin, and the solution is in your hands. The “grass” plant you refer to is a postillon (Arum maculatum) but there is also the sapelar (Stellaria media) and I would say that there are also some carrots (Daucus carota). And yes, the leek likes the art of grass, because he's a humid lover. The most important thing is to have a deep, fresh land, and a lot of manure, with manure or old pit. As I see in the photo, the ground is regular. The emergence of Ilarrondoa also indicates that the land has not been prepared in depth. And finally, to have a couple of months, despite the circumstances, they're not that bad ... Next time, if possible, change by the end of June or early July.
