Anbautipps

You can sow chives directly into the bed, but we recommend pre-growing them in a planting tray. After about 4-8 weeks, you can plant the plants in bunches in the bed. Harvest as soon as the plants are rooted and when the leaves are about 15 cm high. To propagate chives, you can dig up the clump 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 about 5 cm. Chives need a good water supply in summer and should be weeded now and then, 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.
