Onions are an indispensable vegetable in cooking. That is why many people prefer to grow them on their own plots.
But in order for the fruits to be large and juicy, and the plantings to be without shoots, you need to know what and how to soak the seed material.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told in more detail.
As the specialist noted, a good result can be achieved by using baking soda.
This cheap product can be safely used both in the spring, before planting the seedlings, and in the fall, for treating the seeds before wintering.
Just one tablespoon should be taken for each liter of water. The solution should be warm - about 40-45 degrees.
Before immersing the onion in the solution, you need to partially remove the top husk. It should be left in the liquid for half an hour.
