What to soak onions in before planting: fast, simple and effective
And a novice gardener knows that onion sets must be soaked in special solutions before planting, otherwise diseases cannot be avoided.
Onions suffer from insidious diseases that do not appear immediately, but only during storage, when carefully dried turnips begin to rot.
If it suddenly happens that before planting you don’t have anything on hand in which to keep the seed onions, head straight to the country kitchen.
To prepare this solution, you only need water and baking soda.
So, for one liter of water you need to take one teaspoon of soda, dissolve it and you can place it on the bulb to treat it.
The pan will need to be covered with a lid, wrapped in a towel and left like that for 15 minutes.
It is believed that after treatment with soda, onions not only do not get sick, but their yield also increases.
And in order to prevent bolting, you need to select small bulbs with a radius of 3-4 cm for planting.
It is recommended to plant large turnips only for juicy and rich greenery.
The processing method itself is suitable for planting onions in winter or spring.
