How to grow onions in your garden and at home

It may seem that the onion is such a vegetable garden, for which you do not really need to take care. Up to the formula "stick up - it will grow." This is not true. On the other hand, the question of how to grow onions should not be unnecessarily complicated, describing sophisticated agricultural practices. The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle.

Large onions are obtained from small onion seeds (sowing) no larger than 2.5 cm. When preparing for sowing, they need to be carefully sorted out, removing the diseased and damaged, sorting by size, to warm up 2 or 3 days before disembarkation (if you bought sowing, But not stored at room temperature), arrange a "bath" in the solution to protect against fungal diseases.

The garden under the onion should be prepared in the autumn: it is cleaned, disinfected, watered and frosted in winter. In the spring, before growing the onion, it must be fertilized, digged, and kept under the film for several days.

Plant the sowing in late April or early May, while the soil temperature should be no lower than +12 degrees, otherwise it will begin to run out arrows. Place of planting - furrows 4 cm deep; Distance between sowing - from 8 to 10 cm; Between grooves - 20-25 cm Bulbs sprinkled with earth and poured warm water from the rain watering can.

Another question is when to plant leeks. This biennial plant is a solid feather, it does not form bulbs as such. Seeds of leeks are grown from February. Care is taken to ensure that the seedlings do not stretch and do not fall because of excessive moisture and heat in poor lighting. It should be as bright as possible, the temperature during the day is +20 ... + 25, at night +10 ... + 12. By the time you land, you will get a strong seedling with a thick stalk.

In the open ground it comes with 3 or 4 real sheets, a stem of at least 15 cm long and 5 cm thick. Before planting, one must shorten the roots by one third. Plant to a depth of 3 or 4 cm (but can be deepened up to 8 cm), between plants about 10 cm, between rows - 15 cm. The timing of the landing is the same as that of onions. Here's how to grow onions outdoors.

And if it is not available? Stay home in the winter without tasty and healthy greens? Nothing like this! Approaching the case with his knowledge, your home bow will not be any worse than his garden "brother".

If you set a goal and think about how to grow onions at any time of the year, you need to take two dozen medium bulbs for use on each month. Cut off the top of each until thickened and soak for a day in a steady warm water. In the meantime, fill the earth with selected dishes. Put the soaked bulbs in there, generously pour them with the same water. Try to provide good additional lighting, but this is not necessary. After 2 weeks, green feathers appear. Do not rush them off! First, wait another week, and secondly, cut off the extreme feathers, so that their growth continues.

But! We forget that in the question of how to grow green onions at home, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers were much smarter than amateurs of agricultural engineering. And each of us at least once in my life saw the sills of kitchens, lined with mayonnaise jars with rapidly growing "cipollino". What is interesting - no soil! The main thing is that the bottom of the bulb is gently immersed in water. All nutrients for growth are taken from the bulb itself. The result is on the windowsill and on the table!
