The size of onion heads is not always able to satisfy the needs of summer residents, since the crop often grows small and does not store very well.
However, proper watering can affect the size of the onion.
The secret lies in the fact that the water will need to be enriched with certain nutrients, reveals the secret scientist, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti".
What should I water onions with to make the heads grow large?
Wood ash
This natural fertilizer contains all the necessary elements for the onion to grow high-quality and large. As a rule, it is necessary to add about 100 ml of ash to the standard volume of water for irrigation.
It is advisable to choose a fertilizer without large pieces, as their effectiveness will be low.
Potassium permanganate
For a lasting positive effect, you will need to add just a few particles of potassium permanganate to the bucket. After the color of the liquid has only slightly changed, you can start watering.
Experienced gardeners believe that both methods can be used. As a result, the onion harvest will be able to please you.
