Any gardener who plants onions in the spring dreams of getting very large bulbs.

It is obvious that the formation of large-sized vegetables is impossible if the soil does not contain sufficient amounts of important microelements and nutrients.

But then the question arises: “What specific components does a garden crop need for full growth and development?”

The answer is simple: in summer the plant needs all the essential elements - nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

How to feed a plant at the beginning of summer

It is usually sold under the name "Complex mineral fertilizer for onions and garlic".

Preparing the liquid is very simple: just pour 30 grams of the above-mentioned product into a bucket filled with water.

The resulting mixture will need to be used to water the soil in which the bulbs are located.

Second procedure

To make the chances of forming very large bulbs almost 100%, in the last days of the second summer month the garden crop will need to be fed one more time.

Now you need to use 10 grams of potassium sulphide and 2 times more superphosphate (per bucket of clean liquid).
