Cultivation methods and precautions for leafy cabbage
1. Soil

1. Soil

It is better to choose soil with thick soil, good drainage and fertile soil for cultivating leafy cabbage. Generally, sandy loam soil is the first choice. This soil can provide sufficient nutrient requirements for leafy cabbage, allowing it to grow stronger.
