What can you plant next to onions
Due to its compact shape, onions are sometimes used as an additional crop, which is placed between the rows of the main crop.
The vegetable can be planted between beets, lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries, spinach, radishes, and watercress.
Onions make excellent companion plantings due to their ability to enhance the flavor of companion plants as well as repel pests such as aphids, Japanese beetles and rabbits.
While this makes onions a great companion for most vegetables and herbs, asparagus and onions do not mix.
Alliums appear to suppress the growth of asparagus, and their large bulbs can interfere with the canopy of asparagus.
How to grow onions correctly
To speed up germination, the seeds are soaked in warm water for 24 hours.
Planting in the ground is carried out in mid-spring on ridges, in rows. A good harvest requires regular watering, loosening and weed removal. Onions are harvested in early autumn, after the leaves have dried.
