Chicory cultivation consists of two steps.\u003cbr\u003e Step 1: You start by growing the taproot (sowing in May, harvesting in the months of October to December).\u003cbr\u003e Step 2: pulling the chicory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Step 1: Growing taproots The roots\/taps should be grown on unfertilized soil. Sow in May at a row distance of 35 cm, later thin out to 12 cm. The seed should be sown shallowly. The roots can be harvested at the end of October, November and December. Cut off the foliage just above the growing point, approximately 3 cm above the root collar (can also be done with a shovel).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStep 2: pulling chicoryIt is important when pulling that the growth does not proceed too quickly and that the soil in which the roots are placed is poor, so contains little nitrogen. Pulling can be done in a hole outside, under a flat roof or greenhouse and even in a cool cellar (in a crate or bucket). Place the roots together upright or slightly slanted in the ground, with the top just above ground level. Then cover with a loose layer of soil of approximately 15 cm. As soon as moderate frost is expected, cover the hole. At the end of winter, the heads are sufficiently large. Of course, the heads will be good more quickly in a warmer place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plukkers.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53745833607494,"sku":"8717202601066","price":3.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/3924\/7942\/files\/2050.png?v=1732722075","url":"https:\/\/plukkers.com\/en\/products\/witlof-hollandse-middelvroeg-bio-zaden","provider":"PLUKKERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
