Onions are easy to grow and can be sliced and cooked for your cooking. This article will show you how to grow onions.
Step
Step 1. Find a good location
Onions should be planted in a place that gets full sun or partially shaded with low winds. Onions cannot be grown in clay.
Step 2. Loosen the soil with a garden fork and remove weeds and boulders
Step 3. Use a garden rake to generate the level of the surface
If you have infertile soil you can add organic matter before you start planting
Step 4. Use your feet or the head of a harrow to compact the soil, as onions grow well in hard soil
Step 5. Rake the soil one more time
Step 6. Choose onions that are dense and fat
Do not use mushy or too small.
Step 7. Make a row of holes in the ground
You can put ribbon/thread on the ground as a guide so that you plant in a straight line.
Step 8. Use a shovel to dig a small hole just as deep as each onion so that the tip of the onion sticks out when covered with soil (about 2.5 cm deep)
Gently compact the soil around the onion with your fingers. Each row is planted with the ends of the onions facing up, 10 cm apart from each other. Between rows is 20-30 cm.
Step 9. Water the onions during the spring (March-May), but you may not need to water them during the fall and winter (September-February)
Step 10. Harvest the onions in late spring (around May)
Tips
- Pick it when the head starts to turn brown
- If you plant in the fall (September-November), onions can be harvested in late spring (around May).
- You can use labels to mark each row.
