Cabbage KILAZOL Plant

Description

Cabbage KILAZOL Plant

Cabbage KILAZOL Plant is an intense vegetarian that requires full sun and well-draining, fertile soil (pH of 6.0-7.5) to produce large heads with a dense texture. Sow seeds indoors, 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors once danger of frost has ended. Sow seeds 1/4- to 1-inch deep in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart, thinning seedlings out so they are one every foot or two once the second pair of leaves have developed. Water the soil consistently and add compost or balanced fertilizer to it before planting, supplementing with a rich nitrogen source as plants grow. Keep them moist and weed-free with mulch, also watch the plants because bugs like cabbage worms can be a problem. Pick heads while they are compact and store in an air-conditioned, humid place to keep them longer.
