80 Square-Feet SHTF Medicinal Garden
• Full sun
Leeks have multiple cancer-fighting properties. Eating them on a regular basis
decreases your risk of cancer. They are also useful to treat heart disease, infections,
Urinary tract infections, arthritis, and anemia.
Growing Leeks
Leeks appreciate a sunny spot with
well-drained, fertile soil. They need lots
of nitrogen and moist soil to thrive.
Plant the seedlings 6 inches apart and 6
to 8 inches deep or so that the soil
comes up to the bottom of the green
leaves. Mulch the bed with organic
material to retain moisture.
Once the leeks are about one inch thick,
begin mounding the soil around the
stems to blanch the leeks and increase
the desirable white part.
Other Plants for Treating and Preventing Cancer
Red clover, cabbage, cleavers, greater burdock root, and sheep sorrel are all
included in this planting plan and are useful to treat and prevent cancer.
