How to plant an onion so that it grows well and the harvest is so large that it would have to be harvested in buckets?

It is necessary to properly prepare the soil for planting, since most often it does not have enough nutrients for plants.

It is necessary to pour chalk into the grooves, which saturates the soil with calcium and acidifies it. For one square meter take 1 glass of chalk.

After spreading the compost on top and sprinkle the soil with wood ash.

Gently loosen the soil and mix all the ingredients together. The soil is prepared for planting onions.

Now stir ammonia in a bucket of warm water (1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water), soak the onion in this solution for 20-30 minutes. That's not all. Now you need to dip the onion in a mixture of red pepper, salt and ash.

After that, place the onion on the bed in a hole 8-10 centimeters deep.

Experienced summer residents sow onions in this way and the yield can only be envied.
