Description

Organic Onion Density

Start in early spring indoors / heated greenhouse 8-10 weeks before transplanting outdoors.

When transplanting, clip plants to three inches and plant 2 inches deep.

Can be sown directly when ground has warmed in mid-late spring, at 2-3 seeds per inch.

Thin to 5 inches apart when plants are 6 inches tall.

Harvest by pulling bulbs when large enough steadily throughout the season.

Fertile, moist soil enriched with compost is best for onion production.

Onions are claimed to ward off many insect pests around lettuce, cabbage and carrots.
