Growing Sweet Onions

Tips, Tricks

1. get you some saw dust from a saw mill that has been sitting for about a year. spread the saw dust on your field about an inch thick. till it in. works best if you do this in the fall and let it rest through the winter months. this will loosen up your clay soils and allow the roots to spread and grow freely. it really helped my garden. I also raise rabbits and usually till in rabbit manure every fall. and again in spring. so far I get a good harvest on everything I grow. 
2. Thanks. GOD Bless.
3. @troutfishholland Good to know. Take care.
4. Your onion video years back was the one I found you with. Good advice. I do have an acidic soil and have piled on wood ash three years running now. Absolutely no problems, and I've applied heavily at times.
5. Be careful too much ash can be bad.Before you go scattering the ashes about, get a soil test done, so you know whether it will benefit you. If your yard or garden soil has a pH of 7 or higher, give the ashes to a friend with a more acidic soil. Don't use it around acid-loving plants such as blueberries and azaleas, or on potatoes, which get scab disease if the pH is too high. I read this at a gardening site.
6. Do you live anywhere near Amarillo? I love to buy some of those plants.
7. Dang! Wish we had that much room for a garden! LOL We're actually hiring someone with a dozer to come get out the "roots" from trees we cut down for our garden area. They're gonna haul in some soil for us too (since we're pro's at growing "rock gardens"). I'll use our composted manures (chicken & rabbit) to "amend" the soil. I'm always in awe of the youtube crowd who do such an awesome job on video's! Thanks!
8. Glad to see you were able to get them in. What is it about the wood ash that helps a root crop?
9. Wow! How cool! Thanks (=
