Some people grow shallots to fill any gaps as they store particularly well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>1.\u00a0\u00a0Find a supply<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Luckily with the trend in grow your own building, finding a supplier is getting easier.\u00a0 I bought two varieties, Radar and Senshyu Yellow in a local garden centre who were selling several varieties. \u00a0Priced at just \u20ac1.75 for 50, sets are generally considered easier to grow and less prone to disease (although they often bolt or run to seed).\u00a0 Sets are also available on-line.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.\u00a0\u00a0Prepare the ground<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Avoid planting onions in soil that&#8217;s been freshly manured or they will be too lush. I&#8217;ve planted mine in the patch that I&#8217;d manured for potatoes at the beginning of the year. Onions also prefer soil that has a fairly neutral pH of 6 to 7 so test it with a pH kit (easy to do, just follow instructions on the packet) and add lime as per instructions on the box if it&#8217;s very acidic. Avoid planting them where onions have grown in the last three to four years to prevent pests and diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Use a marker to measure distance.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

I am a horticultural and environmental educator, mentor, consultant and social garden designer and an URBACT expert on Food and the Circular Economy. Since 2009 I have been working with, designing and providing consultancy for many public and private horticultural projects across the country, in person and online. My primary focus is about helping people to create social gardening spaces where communities can grow organic food for themselves and the biodiversity around them. I have seen first-hand how beneficial they are to those who get involved.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.greensideup.ie","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Greensideupveg","http:\/\/instagram.com\/greensideupveg","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/greensideup\/","http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/greensideup","https:\/\/x.com\/Greensideupveg","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/Greensideupveg"],"url":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/author\/greensideupveg\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greensideup.ie\/media\/onions-june13.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2jHzH-5l","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25840,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331\/revisions\/25840"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greensideup.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
