There is nothing more offensive than unpaid labor, and this applies not only to relationships with an employer, but even to work on a personal plot.
This happens when a gardener has carefully prepared the soil for planting, for example, onions. He watered it all season, chased away pests, but the harvest was not very good.
In order to avoid shedding bitter tears at the end of the season, you need to figure out what was missed and how not to repeat the mistake in the future.
If the location is chosen well, the soil is prepared in the most thorough manner, then it is obvious that the matter is in the seeds, or more precisely, in the onion sets.
In addition to choosing bulbs of the appropriate size for sowing (3-4 cm), you need to pay attention to the varietal characteristics.
It is necessary to choose varieties that are acclimatized to a specific area.
But the most important detail is the following. If you grow onions not for the greens, but for winter storage, then you should give preference to mid-season varieties.
It is better not to consider other options, otherwise the onions will have to be urgently processed or the rotting vegetables will have to be thrown out to the trash.
It has been noted that early and fast-ripening varieties of onions are stored for several months and rarely survive until the New Year holidays.
