Soil preparation

The prime requirements of a good onion are;

• Rich soil
• A sunny position
• A firm root run.

The roots will go down 2ft or more if given a chance! Deep digging done well in advance is a good idea. Manure or compost would no doubt also be appreciated. Tread or roll the groud before planting out you onionlings.
