Onions have been cultivated since ancient times, and are a good winter crop for any home gardener, and there are so many varieties to choose from.
Sunlight: Open, sunny position
Watering: At time of planting, water in well with a seaweed concentrate and repeat every 2 weeks. Keep up regular waterings in between.
Soil: Dig in good amounts of ActivGrow Soil Improver prior to planting out. Seed can also be sown directly to garden beds, fill shallow trenches in prepared soil with Seed & Cutting Mix.
Harvest: When the leaves fall over and wilt, you know it’s time to harvest your onions. Gently pull them from the soil and cut the remaining leaves off with a few centimetres from the bulb. Leave the bulbs in a warm, dry spot to dry out. Store dry onions in a cool, dry place in wire or mesh baskets.
