How to feed onions
First of all, you need to understand that every summer resident and gardener has his own methods of influencing the yield and condition of plants. We offer you fertilizers that are used most often in practice:
- mullein;
- salt;
- iodine;
- urea.
These types of fertilizers give a good result. It is only necessary to observe the proportions for preparing solutions. For example, mullein is taken in the amount of 60 g per 10 liters of water. The solution is used for irrigation.
Urea is diluted in the amount of 25 g per 10 liters of water. Salt is used so that onions do not rot in the beds. To do this, dissolve 1 cup of salt in 10 liters of water and water the beds.
Iodine helps against yellowing. To do this, you need to dilute 10 ml of the substance in a small amount of water, and then dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:10.
If everything is done on time and properly cared for, the result will be excellent. The onion will grow beautiful, big and tasty. And there will be no rot or yellowing.
