What secret do seasoned gardeners use when planting onion sets: every year there will be more than enough onions
We are unlikely to be mistaken if we say that in any garden there is at least one bed set aside for planting onions.
However, not all growers can boast of harvesting large quantities of onion every year.
Most likely, they, like many other farmers, fell into the trap of their own beliefs, because most gardeners believe that the unpretentious onion requires only minimal care.
In fact, if you want your neighbors to gasp in amazement when they see the bulbs you collect from your own garden, you'll have to properly prepare the bed before planting.
Preparatory procedures are carried out in the fall. To do this, when digging up the bed, you need to add ash and humus to the soil.
If you forgot about the need to fertilize in the autumn months, do not despair - the procedure can be carried out in the spring.
Add a small handful of compost to each hole intended for planting onions.
An analogue of compost is urea, of which you will need only half a teaspoon.
