Growing onions “under a blanket” is an interesting gardening method that allows you to get a high-quality harvest.
The bulbs turn out very large, and their taste is incredibly bright.
So, what is this "blanket"? The answer is simple: we are talking about mulch.
In other words, the soil in the onion bed should be covered with one simple material.
The secret of a high-quality onion harvest was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
The essence of the method
In the spring, the soil in the bed where onions are grown should be covered with mown lawn grass.
This is an excellent mulching material, which significantly increases the likelihood of forming large and tasty bulbs.
The size of the vegetable will completely satisfy the gardener even if the soil is covered with agrofibre.
During cold periods, this material will have a positive effect on the condition of the soil cover and garden crops.
The bed will acquire protection from temperature changes and strong winds. In addition, problems such as lack or excess of moisture will not arise.
And during hot periods, a shading net should act as a “blanket” for the onion bed.
Earlier, summer residents were told how to make seedlings stronger.
