As with all plants, it is important to ensure the correct planting distance for kale. If the plants are too close together, they prevent each other from growing, if they are too far apart, you waste space in your vegetable patch. Find out what planting distance to keep with kale.
Kale needs space to grow
The correct planting distance for kale
Kale can grow up to a meter 50 tall and of course it needs space for such a stately size. Therefore, when planting kale, a planting distance of 40 to 50 cm must be maintained.
Another important factor is the sowing depth. The seed should be sown deep enough so that it cannot be reached by pests and still find its way to the surface. A guide value for this is a depth of about 2 cm.
Observe crop rotation
Kale belongs to the cruciferous family and is a heavy feeder, which is why cruciferous plants should not be planted in the location for three years after cabbage has been grown.
