Onions are one of the most useful and delicious vegetable crops, which are used in various dishes and salads.

Onions contain many vitamins, minerals, phytoncides and other biologically active substances that strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, purify the blood and prevent colds.

In addition, onions have a pleasant aroma and a sharp taste, which adds piquancy and richness to dishes.

To grow large and beautiful onions, you need to not only choose the right variety and plant it at the right time, but also take care of it throughout the season.

One of the most effective ways to care for onions is to water them with a special solution that stimulates the growth and development of the plant.

This solution is very easy to prepare from available ingredients. You will need:

• 10 liters of water;

• 1 tablespoon of salt;

• 1 tablespoon of sugar;

• 1 tablespoon vinegar.

Combine all ingredients in a large bucket or barrel and stir well.

The resulting solution can be used to water the onions once a week from May to August. Water the onions in the morning or evening, when there is no heat or sun.

When watering, try not to get it on the leaves, but only on the roots.

This solution helps to increase the size and weight of the bulbs, and also improves their quality and storage.

Salt prevents onion from rotting and becoming diseased, sugar enhances photosynthesis and carbohydrate production, vinegar acidifies the soil and activates microflora. Thanks to this solution, large and beautiful onions grow every year, which delight me with their taste and aroma.
