What to feed onions in spring so that they grow large: the best options - not all summer residents know
Many people want the onion to grow sweet, juicy and large, because this is the kind of vegetable that will always be appreciated.
Therefore, the culture needs to be fed correctly.
It is also worth remembering that spring feeding will not differ for spring and winter onions, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What fertilizers can be used?
A worthy option is ammonium nitrate. Take 15 grams of fertilizer per bucket and start watering the onion beds. You can also use urea, which is usual for spring fertilizing. It can generally be used sparingly - a gram per liter of water.
All types of manure are an excellent source of nitrogen. However, it must be thoroughly diluted with water, adhering to the formula 1 to 20.
If we are talking about chicken manure, the composition can be more concentrated: it can be diluted even 1 to 10.
Ash has an excellent effect, which takes an active part in the formation of bulbs. It is enough to take half a glass of fertilizer per bucket of water. However, the product should be filtered to get rid of large pieces of ash if necessary.
