If you are planning to plant winter onions, you should hurry: you only have a week left.

Experienced gardeners believe that in November (even at the beginning of the month) it is no longer worth planting the crop: the harvest will be of low quality.

Therefore, it is worth starting planting work as soon as possible.

It is also worth knowing how to increase crop yields with a simple trick.

What secret is worth knowing?

The first thing experienced gardeners do is choose a suitable site for planting onions from the beginning of autumn. It should not be over-watered. The soil should preferably be loose.

The predecessors of onions should be legumes, tomatoes or potatoes. Also, from the very beginning of autumn, the soil is enriched with nutrients.

But this may still not be enough.

Therefore, a small spoon of the "magic mixture" is placed in each hole: we are talking about ash with eggshell powder. Both components are taken in equal quantities.

If you listen to this advice, you can harvest an incredibly rich onion crop.
