Planting And Care

• Fertilize every few weeks with nitrogen to get big bulbs
• Cease fertilizing when the onions push the soil away and the bulbing process has started
• Do not put the soil back around the onions; the bulb needs to emerge above the soil
• Generally, onions do not need consistent watering if mulch is used
• About one inch of water per week (including rain water) is sufficient
• If you want sweeter onions, water more
• Onions will look healthy even if they are bone dry, be sure to water during drought conditions
• Make sure soil is well-drained
• Mulch will help retain moisture and stifle weeds
• Cut or pull any onions that send up flower stalks; this means that the onions have “bolted” and are done
