How To Plant Onions For A Big Harvest
Tips, Tricks
I share how I plant onion sets for a big harvest in my Mittleider backyard vegetable garden. If you love big, juicy, sweet onions like we do being able to plant them, see them grow and pick a fresh one anytime is a great experience. Onions need lots of direct sunshine and soil that drains well. I planted 1015Y and Candy onions early to get bigger bulbs. I also share some gardening tools that really help make the process go faster and easier.

Guess I am confused with the email. Sorry I ever made the comment, as it was uncalled for. You can call them whatever you want. Hope they are doing well.

Amazing resource list as well as yet another GREAT VIDEO. I know this is an older video. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE SEEN IT SOONER!

Great video. However, those are onion plants, not sets.
-
Quick question:When you planted these seedlings, did you trim or top them. it looks like you did.. Also I've read some folks top them in intervals to keep the growth going towards the Bulb and root system.. Do you do this as well?
-
Seems like that is close for large onions like Candy and sweet onions.

Im using Coconut coir

I had a Mantis and they are nice.

Interesting, I plan to grow sweet onions here in greenhouse, west coast of Fla in winter
-
awesome tutorial, and I got all my questions answered about onions! I appreciate you taking the time to share these videos, so very helpful!
-
Question, it looks like the tip on all your onions have been snipped off. Is that how they come or is that something you do and if so, why?
-
So you have to put straight nitrogen on the onions along with the other Mittleider fertilizers?
-
Need to add Azomite for trace elements. (ROCK DUST)
-
Where did you get that plastic that you used to cover your onions? What mil is it? The plastic that you used looks very clear as compared to the other plastic sheets I have seen which appear to be more of a frosted color.

Just learned "spring Onion " become onion...
-
I planted a white onion but recently we have had a lot of rain I had went to weed the garden and accidently pulled an onion out. I noticed the bulb seemed soggy is this normal or is it bc of the extra rain
-
I was having visions of a hail storm looking at your beautiful little greenhouse... LOL maybe that's just cuz we had a huge hail storm here... UGH! Nice garden!
-
I thought onions preferred unfertilised soil? Maybe I'm thinking of beetroot?
-
Growing plants this way seems a very expensive method to me.
