When is the best time to plant shallots?

Onions can be planted in spring and autumn every year. When planting, we should choose fertile and loose humus soil with good air permeability as the subsoil, and then plant healthy onions in the soil with the tip facing up. After planting, the soil can be irrigated with pollution-free river water to help onions adapt to the environment and resume growth.

Onion planting time 1, spring and autumn

Onions can be planted in spring and autumn. Because onion is suitable for growing in a warmer environment, but it is afraid of sun exposure and freezing, only the temperature in spring and autumn is suitable for its growth, so onion planting can be carried out in March, April and May in spring or September and1October in autumn.

2. Orchard soil

Onion is suitable to grow in soil with rich mineral elements and good drainage, so humus soil or garden soil with rich organic matter and loose soil can be used to grow onion. Before planting, it is necessary to dig deep into the soil and mix urea in it to improve the fertilizer content of the soil.

3. Planting method

When planting onions, you can choose onions with smooth surface and no pests and diseases, then remove their skins and plant them in prepared soil with the top facing up. Note that in the process of planting, don't bury all the onions in the soil, but expose the tips on the soil to help the plants grow leaves.

4. Post maintenance

In the later maintenance process, it is necessary to irrigate the soil with natural water rich in minerals to keep the soil moist. It can also provide mixed fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for onions, improve the growth speed of plants, and provide sunshine for onions all day, so that plants can carry out photosynthesis normally and keep their leaves green.
