Care Tips

Brussel Sprouts are generally either loved or hated, but growing them can be quite a doddle! They need to grow in soil that has been enriched with manure or compost from the previous autumn. As with other brassicas it is best not to plant brussel sprouts where they have grown in the last 3 years.
