Recently, the Chinese method of planting onions has become popular among gardeners.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, spoke about the features and advantages of this method.
How to plant onions using the Chinese method
The essence of the method is that onions are planted in ridges. This way the bulbs grow stronger, denser and healthier.
In addition, planting in ridges prevents onions from rotting, since excess moisture drains into the grooves.
The height of the ridge should be 15-17 centimeters. Before forming the ridges, the soil should be loosened.
The width of the grooves between the ridges is 25-30 centimeters. When planting, the bulbs are deepened by 5 centimeters.
