By making these mistakes, gardeners increase their chances of getting bulbs that are slightly larger than a quail egg.
Experienced gardeners always remember three important nuances of growing onions, so they always get large and juicy fruits.
Planting too early
Summer residents sometimes rush to sow. Some gardeners put seeds into the soil almost immediately after the snow melts.
Cold prevents onions from developing. Onions are planted when the average daily temperature does not fall below +13 °C for several days.
Incorrect feeding
This mistake is often made by novice gardeners. They fertilize onions with fresh manure in the spring, which can cause young plants to "burn."
Fresh manure is added in the fall. It will rot before planting, and in the spring you can additionally fertilize the soil with compost.
Overwatering
Summer residents like to flood onions, which is why the harvest rots right in the garden. If the fruits do not disappear before harvesting, they will definitely be stored worse.
