Growing Red Creole Onions
- The best sowing time for Red Creole Onion is from April to the end of May.
- Onions like soil that drains well. Heavy or clay soils should be avoided or amended with lots of compost.
- Because onions are such a long crop, include an organic fertiliser in the soil preparation.
- For direct seeding, sow the Onion Seeds in rows 12-18″ apart.
- Upon planting, add compost to the soil, but since onions are heavy feeders they will grow best if fertilized throughout their growth.
