Planting Kangkong in your back yard


Kangkong is super rich in protein, calcium, phosporous and iron. I shared a couple recipes with you (Adobong Kangkong and the Cripy Kangkong) on how you can enjoy it. I hope you like them. They are also popular in the dish, Sinigang, which you can still just get rid of the meat.

Kangkong can be planted throughout the year, either as a seed, or through vine cutting, shoots or root stocks. It's very easy to plant Kangkong too. You can't plant it close to wet areas, like near the fish pond or lake. If you don't have that around you, just make sure the soil is constantly watered. Plant 25 cm kangkong shoots or stem vines at a distance of 30 to 50cm each. You have to weed it from time to time so that it can grow healthy. It should be ready for harvest in about one and half month after. Enjoy planting! Then you can pick them out right from your garden.
