Where do I grow cabbage?

• Grow cabbage in soil rich in organic matter that is well-drained. Prepare planting beds ahead of planting by covering beds with 2 to 3 inches of aged compost or commercial organic planting mix and turning it under to 12 inches deep.
• Cabbage grows best where the soil pH is between 6.5 and 6.8.
• If clubroot disease has been a problem, adjust the soil pH to 7.0 or slightly higher by adding lime.
• Add plenty of well-aged compost to planting beds before planting. In regions where the soil is sandy or where there is heavy rain, supplement the soil with nitrogen.
• Adding a moderate amount of nitrogen-rich blood meal or cottonseed meal to the soil ahead of planting will enhance leafy growth.
