Onions should be large, firm and store well, and to harvest just such a crop, you need to master several secrets.
In this case, knowledgeable gardeners advise adhering to the following three points, and then fortune will not abandon the gardener.
Advice one
The onion will grow large if the gardener thinks about it at the stage of choosing seeds. In addition to the quality of the sets, you need to pay attention to the characteristics of the variety. It may happen that the selected sets are simply not suitable for growing in a particular climate.
Tip two
After this, it is important to focus on the sowing dates. It is better to plan these works not by dates, but by the weather.
Usually, onion planting begins after the frosts have completely passed. A sunny place is chosen for planting, and the soil is fertilized in the fall.
Tip three
In addition to fertilizers, do not forget about agricultural technology. To grow a large bulb, you need to trim the onion feathers by a third about a month before harvesting. This way, the feathers will stand longer and more evenly in the sun. When the feathers bend or break, the amount of sunlight decreases, which affects the growth of the bulb itself.
All these simple tips will help you to harvest an excellent onion crop at the end of the season.
