Brassica oleracea convar. Acephela

This plant is rich in vitamins A, C, E and minerals, especially iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Another plus is its high fibre content, which supports proper intestinal function. In the kitchen, it can be used like cabbage or spinach.

Kale is a biennial plant. It forms a stem about 1 m high, which bears a rosette of curly leaves. Each leaf is relatively large and weighs approximately 150 - 200 g. The leaves are green or crimson in colour.

How to Grow Curly Kale

  • Requires a sunny or partially shaded position. At the beginning of summer, plants require large amounts of water. The soil should never dry out. Regularly hoe around the plants and remove weeds. Also lime and fertilise regularly. If plants grow very tall and are not stable, stake each one and tie them up.

  • Sow seeds directly in the bed from the end of May to mid-June at a spacing of 50 to 60 x 50 cm.

  • Plants thrive in well-drained, moderately heavy to heavy loamy soils that have been thoroughly fertilised. In autumn, apply lime to the soil to maintain the correct acidic pH.

  • Approximately 2 weeks before planting, apply 60 g of universal NPK fertiliser or granulated manure per square metre. Subsequently fertilise and lime regularly.

  • The most common cabbage pests are flea beetles, cabbage white butterflies and cabbage moths. Among diseases, clubroot of brassicas causes the most damage.

    For cabbage moths, it is advisable to use synthetic insecticides or preparations based on 'Bacillus thuringiensis' when caterpillars hatch from eggs.

    Against clubroot of brassicas, liming of plots, use of nitrogenous lime, destruction of affected plants and soil disinfection are recommended.

    Plants can be protected from white butterflies by planting them among tomatoes, for example.

  • Harvest leaves from summer to winter. Lower leaves are picked, the top continues to grow back.
