Vegetable Gardening : How to Grow Large Sweet Onions

To grow large sweet onions at home, start by filling a pot with good potting soil. Choose seeds that are known to produce large sweet onions, such as Walla Walla onions. Broadcast the seeds in the pot and cover with a little bit of soil. Keep the pot well-watered and place it in a windowsill or greenhouse. Once the onions reach about six inches tall, you can transplant them to your garden. Make sure to add lots of compost to the soil and work it in well. Adding bone meal and azomite can also help promote bigger bulb growth. Plant the onions in beds lined with compost, and make sure to keep them well-watered throughout the growing season. By following these tips, you can grow large sweet onions at home.
