In order for your onion harvest to be the envy of your neighbors, it is important to take into account many factors.
First of all, you should concentrate on ensuring that the planting process goes without any errors.
What mistakes during sowing can lead to loss of onion harvest?
Inappropriate Predecessors
The worst choice would be a bed where you previously grew onions. By the time of planting, the soil will have almost no necessary nutrients left.
However, such soil will become a source of diseases and pests, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer.
Any bulbous crops will also be bad predecessors.
Sealing details
Not all gardeners remember that onions should not be planted too deeply into the soil. Even ten centimeters can be too much.
Therefore, evaluate the size of the onion seeds and plant them in the soil at exactly the same distance.
Manure
Many summer residents love manure, considering it to be high-quality, natural and the best means for increasing the level of soil fertility.
However, it can simply spoil the onion. Therefore, it is preferable to use prepared compost.
