This crop is not as difficult to grow as some of its other neighbors on the plot, but it is still worth following important rules.
If you make serious mistakes in terms of care, you can get a very mediocre harvest.
For example, onions can simply grow small and be stored extremely poorly as a result of a common and banal shortcoming, notes agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What serious error are we talking about?
It is known that onions need sufficient moisture to gain mass and develop correctly. However, not all gardeners monitor changes in weather conditions, and do not monitor how moisture is absorbed into the soil.
As a result, there is a high probability of "flooding" the crop, introducing much more moisture than it requires.
Such onions do not store well and are also prone to various diseases.
It is important to remember that the soil during the active growth and development of the plant should be moderately moist, but the water should not be allowed to stagnate.
If you notice that it has started to rain actively, you should temporarily stop watering. When you notice that the soil in the beds is not as wet as it should be, you can start watering.
