I have 2 old washing up bowls full of leeks growing quite nicely. They are a lot bigger than the ones this time last year!

Not sure the compost will have much nutrients left in it now so was wondering how best to feed them..

Should I use the tomato feed liquid or try to soak some manure (from a bag from garden centre) in a water butt and use that ?

I feed my seedlings with liquid seaweed ( Wilkinsons) at half strenght, once a week, until they are ready to plant out.

not sure if it works because its the first year ive growen them but ive been using worm tea

any liquid feed will do, but I'd try to avoid tomato feed as the NPK values in that will encourage them to bolt.

I get Maxicrop liquid seaweed from the allotment shop    I'd use that or the Wilko brand

Defo agree with her highness above.
I have used maxicrop for several years now and swear by it, never tried the wilkos brand, to be honest never seen at our not so local one but I am sure it is much of a likeness. One bottle of half litre lasts ages.

At what price? Mine charges £4.90 but doesn't state the quantity on the price list. Probably 1 litre. From prices I see on the internet, that doesn't seem too cheap, but then there's P&P. Must look at what gerden centres charge.

I paid £3.99 from my local GC for 500ml.
