Bulbs the size of 2 fists are a reality: 4 rules for advanced gardeners to surprise their neighbors

Onions are a popular crop that grows in almost every garden.

It is believed that the plant is unpretentious, but this does not mean that you can ignore the rules of care.

Experienced gardeners know that with the help of simple rules you can improve the harvest and increase its quality.

Fertilizers

It is better to choose ash and compost, which contain potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. The products can be applied to the beds in mid-summer, when the active growth of fruits begins.

Caring for the beds

The beds need to be loosened periodically so that air and water can better penetrate to the roots. Weeding is important. It helps to avoid competition between onions and weeds for nutrients and moisture from the soil.

Watering

This crop loves moisture, but you can't overdo it. Also, you shouldn't allow drought. Watering should be moderate.

When the top leaves begin to turn yellow, it means that the crop is ready to be harvested.
