However, it is said in many areas that leeks cannot be cut in rainy days, which is unscientific and not entirely correct. First of all, the reason why leek can't be cut in rainy days is that leek stubble is easily infected by some bacteria. However, the wisdom of our ancestors has stood the test for thousands of years, and this problem has been solved by our ancestors.
First of all, you must use a sharp knife to cut leeks, because a sharp knife can minimize the wounds on leeks and will not damage other tissues except the incision. In addition, the knife for cutting leeks should not rust. Rust can infect leeks with other unnecessary bacteria, so be sure to clean the knife when cutting leeks. The other is that after the leek is cut, it is best to sprinkle some plant ash on the leek and some plant ash on the leek, which can kill some bacteria and help the leek take root. Through this method of "consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan", leeks can basically be harvested at any time.
In addition, there is a saying that leeks should be cut in the afternoon as much as possible, because the temperature difference between afternoon and evening is not very big, and leeks can have enough time to adjust themselves during this time. If it is too hot at noon, the chopped leek can easily be adjusted for a long time because of too much water loss, so try to pay attention. Another thing to note is that if there is heavy rainfall in rainy days, it is best to drain the leek field before cutting it, because once the leek is cut and flooded, it is easy to rot and continue to rot to the roots. The consequences are even more serious, and it is necessary to replant leeks in the second year. Maybe that's why you can't cut leeks in rainy days.
