- Soil is best prepared the previous season with organic matter. Do not plant on a freshly manured bed.
- Try to avoid planting in the same place as onions from the previous year.
- Sow mid Feb to Late Mar usually 2 weeks before onion sets.
- Plant like small bulbs so that the tips are just showing above the soil 15-20 cm apart with 20 cm between rows.
- Protect during early growth if you have squirrels or pigeons in the area.
- Keep weed free and water during dry periods.
