Growing Information
Plant onions in spring on any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Plant 10cm (4″) apart for medium sized bulbs, or at wider spacing if larger bulbs are required, in rows 30cm (12″) apart. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onions in raised beds. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
