Are you planting onions too deep? π± This #1 mistake could be stunting your onion bulb growth without you realizing it! Many gardeners assume that deeper planting leads to bigger onions, but in reality, burying onions too deep results in large leaves but smaller bulbs.
β Why Depth Matters: Onions need room to expand, and planting them at the correct depth ensures proper bulb formation. If they are buried too deep, the plant focuses on leaf growth rather than bulb development.
β The Right Planting Depth: Place onion sets or transplants just beneath the soil surface, with the top slightly exposed. This allows bulbs to form properly and grow to their maximum size.
β Bonus Growing Tips:
Use loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.
Water consistently but avoid overwatering.
Provide full sun for optimal growth.
Keep weeds under control to reduce competition.
Plant onions the right way and enjoy a bountiful harvest of big, flavorful bulbs! π§
