Kale is a nutritious vegetable that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is often used in salads, soups, smoothies, and as a side dish. In Zambia, kale is typically grown during the cooler months of the year, from May to August. It is a cool-season crop that requires well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Kale can be grown in a variety of soil types, but it prefers fertile, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter . To grow kale in Zambia, farmers typically plant the seeds directly into the soil in rows, spacing the seeds around 10 to 15 centimetres apart. The seeds should be planted around 1 to 2 centimetres deep and covered with soil. Kale requires regular watering , especially during dry spells. It is also important to control weeds , as they can compete with the kale for nutrients an
