Gardeners know that onions are always a lot of trouble, because growing them may seem like an easy task only at first glance.

Common mistakes in care can lead to the onion going to bolt.

This can happen for a number of reasons, including unsuitable fertilizers that many gardeners use.

Some fertilizers are overly high in nitrogen, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and smaller bulbs, as well as bolting.

Useful fertilizers for onions

Ammonium sulfate

A good choice to avoid over-saturation of the soil with nitrogen. The fertilizer is ideal for those gardens where there is no need to increase the nitrogen content in the soil.

Ammonium sulfate contains the right amount of the necessary components that will help the onion grow a good feather, increase the size of the bulbs and the yield in general.

To feed onions, you just need to sprinkle 1 matchbox of this fertilizer on each square meter.

It is useful to carry out such feeding after the onion has sprouted from the soil to a height of 6-7 cm. The procedure can be repeated in 14-16 weeks.
