Onion is used in most dishes of both domestic and foreign cuisine, and therefore without it we can not do. Those people who grow vegetables for their table more than one year, know how to grow a good onion. Let's also find out what tricks are needed to get an excellent harvest.
How correctly to grow onions?
The basis of all the foundations is a competently prepared onion bed. This culture should not be grown in one place again, because the soil is rapidly depleted, and a good harvest can not be collected twice.
One square meter of land requires at least 5 kg of fresh manure, which is dug for the winter. The top layer can be mixed with old sawdust, so that after the summer watering the ground does not crack and remains loose.
In the spring before planting, add saltpeter, ashes , ground to the beds and make grooves about 10 cm deep. They are shed well with warm water. Each onion peel is drowned by 8 cm along the "shoulders", carefully watching that the roots are from below. On top, lightly sprinkled with soil, after which the garden is watered from the watering can.
Selection of planting material
Before planting a seedling to grow a good crop of onions from it, it is necessary to select this sevok. Do not take beautiful round bulbs 2.5-5 cm in diameter - the plant will go to the arrow, and then you will not see the crop. The optimum size of the seed is one and a half centimeters or even less. The more bulky the bulb, the larger the fetus will be. Variety of onions also matters.
How to collect a large harvest of onions from 1 hectare?
In order for the onion to last until the new harvest, in the summer it is necessary to take care of it only a little - 1-2 times a week to water and regularly loosen the soil after watering. If the onion planting is covered up, then it will not be necessary to water it, because the layer of mulch reliably retains moisture and does not allow the soil to overheat.
Typically, to grow a large onion, you need a moderate amount of fertilizer, the right grade, care and a good even place. And yet it is not necessary to delay with landing - this cold-resistant culture can be planted already at the end of April.
