Anbautipps

You can sow chives directly into the bed, but we recommend pre-growing them in a seed tray. After approx. 4-8 weeks, you can plant the plants in clusters in the bed. Harvest as soon as the plants have taken root and the leaves are approx. 15 cm high. To propagate chives, you can dig up the clump (cluster of several plants) of an older plant in the fall or spring and carefully pull it apart. Then plant the divided clumps individually and cut off the cane leaves to a height of approx. 5 cm. Chives need a good supply of water in summer and should be weeded from time to time, otherwise they will be overgrown by weeds. Chives are suitable for mixed cultivation with various plants, as they reduce carrot fly, gray mold and downy mildew.
