Kohlrabi is pretty easy to grow. Just make sure to grow them under some protection or have bacillus thuringiensis spray ready. Caterpillars can be a big problem, especially when the plants are young. Definitely worth trying, good luck! 🍀
Hello, can You describe in what conditions are You trying to grow them? If kohlrabi is not forming "bulb", it's probably just trying to survive due to harsh growing conditions, For example heat, lack of moisture or even overcrowding.
@@Liap I was thinking it might be overcrowding. I had a number of them in the same raised bed, and thinned them as they grew, for the leaves. Could it be they need the space? I do fertilize with slow release granules early on and fish fertilizer every few weeks. We do get into the eighties here, but I water regularly. Also, I direct sow in April.
@@ExplodingPsyche yes, overcrowind can be an issue. plants compete for nutrients, water and even light. Fish fertilizer is very good for kohlrabi I use it too from time to time. 80F is as a peak day temperature is not that bad. They like cooler weather, around 75F as max day temperature, but with enough watering they should handle that. What zone are you in? You'd probably do better with starting them earlier in seedling trays and transplanting them outside in April. That is how I grow early kohlrabi varieties. This way I harvest them before hot temperatures arrive.
@@Liap I'm in zone 6a. Next year I'll start them inside, if I can find the room among all my tomatoes and peppers! This year we had temps in the thirties until the end of May, so I couldn't get those outside until June. Transplanting them will make it easier to give them more room. Thanks for your advice.
I tried last year but they were totally ‘mullered’ by slugs. I guess growing in bags helps that, but it makes rather expensive vegetable with all that compost? Would they do ok in homemade compost? We have plenty of that!
Hello. Absolutely! The compost I grow in is not any different. And You can easily "refresh" the soil mix and reuse again. When it comes to snails, You can use some beer traps, but the best solution for me was to go out in the night when slugs are active and pick them. In 1-2 nights You can pick most of them and it will take time for new ones to come.

I've tried to grow red kohlrabi for two years. They never develop a bulb, so I just eat the greens. Wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong.
