Onions grow best
in sandy loam or peat soil. The root system is weak, so fertilize
and water close to the plant. The size of the bulb will be proportional
to the size of the plant. Water and fertilize well in early stages
Hints:
Start indoors. Transplant 5- to 8 cm [2-3"] apart
in rows 30 to 45 cm [12-18"] apart. In the fall, bend
tops to hasten ripening.
