June 10, 2019 | More: Evergreen| Plant Care

When kale grows, it grows upwards in a curly fashion. Most kale are green, but they can be purple as well. When it comes to kale, they can be grown in the wintertime. They are easy to grow.

It is still a good idea to keep an eye on kale because they are prone to pests and can rot. Once you notice the leaves have been chewed on, you’ll need to take steps to prevent it from happening again since bugs carry diseases.

There are eight gardener tips on how to grow and care for kale. Once you know how to grow and care for them, you’ll have a good batch of kale that you will feel confident in serving to the entire family.

1. Use high-quality soil when growing kale.

Kale does well in soil that is slightly acidic. The leaves are the ones that are growing, so having a high nitrogen content is helpful. When you purchase soil make sure you get the right type of soil. Not all high-quality soil is the same.

When you purchase at a local nursery, you can ask the salesperson about the different types of soils. They should be able to tell you what type of soil is best for kale.

When you buy soil in the bags, it will tell you on the back what the soil is good for. Read it carefully, so that you know if the soil you are purchasing is the right kind of soil for kale. Just using plain dirt will not make your kale grow well or fast enough. In some cases, they may not even grow by just using dirt.
