I have never grown onions before but I am going to try next year!
Your videos are one of my gardening guide 101.
I had cut up half of an onion and then threw the other half in the fridge and promptly forgot about it…well, it sprouted! Debating throwing it in a pot and just seeing what happens
What’s mildew?
My onions dont bulb =(
My onions have been very small the last couple of years. I do put leaves, sheep and chicken manure on my garden. But they still aren't growing very big.
Another awesome video thank you! I am learning sooooo much!
I always do them in the fall. I just have way more time! So we sow them then we move bed to bed refreshing the soil and weeding etc
Great video, I'm growing onions nowadays, and I'm wondering how many times a week do I need to water onions??
First time I have seen leek moth. Read do not plant alliums on same spot. Too late so will have to wait until next year as I have planted onion sets and garlic where leek were. Any suggedtions?
This video made me cry
My onions always get destroyed by root maggots
Love your videos, Ben!
What do you think of using straw or some kind of mulch for reducing weeds?

Going to have a go in IBC halves with coconut fibre which I have for free from a grower. I think they should be okay.
Great info thank you!
Do the bulbs push themselves up out of the soil????
Thank you Ben! ❤️❤️
First time viewer here. Thank you for making this. I have been doing well with growing onions but you gave me some tips to help improve my crop.
Great Video! I want to grow Onions this year but we have clay soil. I would like to grow a lot of them so pots are out of the question. What do you suggest?
resurrecting this comments section:
This weekends task is to plant out sets into my SFG raised bed. Clear plastic pop bottles cut in half will create their own individual miniature green houses until the late frosts have passed.
It will be March next weekend, spring onions, welsh onions, garlic, parsnips and carrots are going to have a session too.
I really should be starting the companion plants too. Nasturtiums, dill, parsley and marigolds.
Yes yellow onion
I've already grown 420 onions, they have layers
