Caring for the onions
It also includes regular watering. In general, the onion is well adapted to the continental climate with fluctuating rainfall. Thanks to its storage organ, the onion, it also survives drier times.
Nevertheless, watering should be carried out regularly during longer breaks in the rain so that moisture is always available. However, it is important to ensure that there is no waterlogging in the onion bed, which can lead to rot.
Water requirement from the seed to the onion
Onions can be sown or pinned with onions. In both cases, watering is essential for good growth:
- After sowing the seeds are poured on.
- Onion sets are to be watered after they have been planted.
- If the stem of the young plant thickens, it needs more water.
- Regular watering is beneficial, but waterlogging should be avoided.
- If you want to store onions, watering is stopped shortly before harvest. The drier the onion, the better the shelf life.
