Now comes a very important moment in matters of onion care, since the size of the vegetable will depend on some of our actions.

It is also possible to influence the quality of the product itself.

It is worth concentrating your attention on three important points, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

What do they consist of?

Salt

Few people know that now it would not be superfluous to water the crop with a salt solution. To do this, you need to dissolve two hundred grams of salt in ten liters of water.

After that we start watering the onion. This will be the final feeding for the plant.

Working with feathers

If you want the plant to focus on working with the onion itself, then the feathers need to be slightly broken and placed on the bed. Otherwise, the plant will spend resources on feeding the feathers, which is no longer relevant.

Moisture introduction

Remember that onions do not need water for about 30 days before harvesting. It is also extremely important to protect onions from moisture when precipitation appears.
