Onions will get the maximum amount of nutrients from these vegetables. That's why they are planted between rows of tomatoes or peppers.

What to feed

Onions respond best to phosphorus fertilizers. You can apply fertilizer immediately after sowing, and when the first leaves appear, use nitrogen fertilizers. When the onion has grown enough green mass, you can stop applying fertilizer.

Watering method

There is nothing better for onions than drip irrigation. The roots of the vegetable are shallow. Therefore, it needs regular but measured watering. The soil should always be slightly moist.
