Plant Winter Onions Correctly at the End of October for a Healthy Harvest

To ensure that winter onions thrive and produce strong, healthy greens in the spring, it’s essential to follow the right planting timing and technique.

Method for Planting Winter Onions:

1. Planting Time: Aim to plant about a month before the first frost.
2. Soil Preparation: Dig the soil to a depth of about half the length of the shovel.
3. Soil Acidity: Onions grow best in slightly alkaline soils. If the soil needs to be deacidified, do so in spring or before planting.
4. Fertilizers: Before digging, add wood ash to the soil. You can also mix ash and superphosphate (50 g ash and 30 g superphosphate per meter) in the grooves and combine it with the soil.

By following these recommendations, you will create the best conditions for onion rooting, helping you achieve a healthy harvest in the spring.
