I want to introduce your attention to the article in which I tried to summarize my experience in the cultivation of Luke, reveal the secrets, observing which you can grow and keep a good crop of this culture.
Secret first.
Onions do not like clay soil if you have such, you need to satisfy sand, peat, mix everything. And still need slightly alkaline soil, if you have sour, be sure to do it in the spring (it is too late to do it) you need to make a dolomite flour for deoxidation.
Secret second.
When landing, the sevka should be lowered it for 10-20 minutes to the solution of mangartee for disinfection of the planting material.
The secret is the third.
Then you need to cut the top to the bow faster germinate.
The secret is the fourth.
In a row, pour a little ordinary salt, will help in the fight against onion flies.
Secret fifth.
Next to the Grocery of Luka, be sure to go around the garden with carrots, which again will scare the onion fly. And onions, in turn, scares the carrot flies. So to speak, the benefit of mutual.
Onions and carrots should grow nearby!
Secret six.
Make three feeding. 1st - in the phase of two sheets - dung alone (1 liters of manure on the water bucket) or chicken litter (1stand on the water bucket) + 30-40 g of superphosphate, pre-dissolved in warm water, + cup of ash.2-naja Two weeks: Superphosphate - 30 g + urea 10 g + potassium 5 g per bucket of water. 3-ya feeding - at the end of June - superphosphate 30 g + urea 10 g + potassium 5g. If you fell in early July - nitrogen (urea) exclude.
And in no case do not allow an excess of nitrogen fertilizers, there will be a good feather, and the heads will suffer. From potash fertilizers, the sulfate potassium is best suited, as the bow is demanding of the sulfur. And on the potassium depends on the preservation of the bow. He still has in ash.
Secret seventh.
In no case do not apply fresh manure and potassium chloride in the feeders (if you, only from autumn) - immediately reduce your crops. Do not neglect phosphorus - the magnitude of the bulbs largely depends on it.
Low onions right!
Secret eighth.
Very important, because we all want the bow to be saved, as long as possible. So, what would happen, it is necessary to remove onions in the middle lane and in Belarus in a timely manner, namely until the first to August rains. Best of all - at the end of July. You are late - it's not only your onions, but also the reputation of a good gardener - nothing will help keep the onions really long.
The secret is ninth.
Of course, it is necessary to dry onions as far as possible in the attic where the wind walks. Then remove all the dried dirt, cut off the dried feather, leaving 8-10 cm.
Secret tenth.
And I even advise you to sort out onions from time to time. If suddenly it deteriorate at least one - others will begin to deteriorate from it. . Want to believe, you want no, my onions are stored to a new crop and longer in paper bags in the kitchen under the table. I wish you to be with a bow all year round!
