How we get high yields of various onions
Meteosensitive people, when the weather changes, feel unwell, headache or weakness. They should try eating more raw onions with bread. Onions regulate vascular tone very well, and do not be afraid of a strong bulbous smell. To get rid of it quickly, chew on a slice of lemon, parsley, and some propolis.
Each gardener grows this healing vegetable in his own way on his plots. I would like to share the secrets of a generous harvest of onions from my many years of practice. I have a large part of the site occupied by this crop. We grow a variety of onions as well as many varieties of shallots. We prepare the soil in the fall, and in the spring we only process it with a walk-behind tractor.

Note that you cannot add fresh manure under the onion; it is better to use well-aged composts at the rate of 5 kg per 1 m2. Wood ash (1 kg per 1 m2) and nitrophoska (25 grams per 1 m2) also work well on an onion bed. Two days before planting, I water the future beds with steep boiling water with manganese dissolved in it, sprinkle two tablespoons of superphosphate and dolomite flour for each square meter. It, unlike lime, can be used in spring.
On the eve of planting, I cut off the neck of the bulbs and keep them in a solution of manganese, then 3-4 hours in a growth stimulator and leave them moist overnight in plastic bags. As a rule, roots appear on the bottoms in the morning. I try to plant onions early in the morning. I arrange the beds from east to west, I make grooves 8 cm deep. To prevent the bottom of the bulb from rotting, I pour a pinch of salt into the groove, add ash there and lay out the seedlings without pressing it into the ground, then the bulbs will not end up on their side.
When filling the grooves with the planted set, I slightly huddle, thanks to this, their roots are not injured and the distance from the bottom to the top of the scallop is 12 cm. The larvae laid down by the onion fly die while they overcome this distance. So groove after groove and I plant the whole bed. After sprouting, when the onion feathers reach a height of 5 cm, I water the plantings with a solution of table salt (1 glass per bucket of water).

This procedure should be repeated ten days later, when the greens grow up to 10 cm. Salt will protect the onion from a serious disease - peronospora (downy mildew). During the growing season, my brother and I feed the onions twice with such a nutrient solution - for 10 liters of water we take 20 grams of ammonium nitrate, 40 grams of superphosphate, 10 grams of potassium sulfate or nitroammophoska. Water the onion between the rows. In no case do we cut off the leaves of plants planted on a turnip!
From June 1, we stop watering the onion, because from this moment it begins to form a turnip. With the beginning of the lodging of the leaves, when the bulbs have already formed and the outer scales have partially acquired the color characteristic of the variety, we proceed to harvesting. Usually we choose a sunny day for this. Carefully dig in the bulbs, and then select them from the ground. I do not advise pulling out the turnip by the dead leaves - you can injure it, displace the bottom of the plant, such bulbs will be poorly stored.
We dry the onions in the attic or under a canopy, but not in the open sun, since even in one day of the onion being under the sun, the turnip can get serious sunburn, and this in the future can lead to rotting and loss of the onion. We dry the bulbs for about a month, then cut off the remaining onion feathers, try to leave them longer - so there is more guarantee that fungal spores will not get into the turnip. We store the harvested crop in vegetable nets in a cool, dry place.
I can offer gardeners my seeds, onion sets and shallots. I am waiting for an envelope from you. Write: Brizhan Valery Ivanovich, st. Kommunarov d. 6, st. Chelbasskaya, Kanevsky district, Krasnodar Territory, 353715.
