How to Grow Kohlrabi

 Kohlrabi plants may need watering during the growing season. Water when the soil is dry about 5cm below the surface (test this by scratching away a little soil with your finger). Water deeply in the early morning or late afternoon.

Avoid watering the leaves of plants to avoid fungal diseases. 

If soil was well prepared no extra fertiliser should be necessary. In poor soil or to give your plants an extra boost, application of a balanced fertiliser or one formulated for fruit and vegetables can be beneficial: Apply slow release fertiliser at the recommended rate when transplanting or when seedlings are 5-10cm tall.

Apply liquid fertiliser at the recommended rate and frequency while plants are fruiting or flowering.
