How to Grow leeks

How to Grow leeks. I learned something new about leeks this year: you have to plant them low. If you want to get pretty white stems like you see in the grocery, then you have to “hill” them up like you do for potatoes. You plant leeks so that the fork in the leaves is just above the soil. As the leeks grow, you gradually add more soil, always keeping the fork in the leaves above the soil level.
