Culture: Unpack sets on arrival, and spread in a light cool position until planting time. Plant February-March, leaving tips of bulbs above the soil surface, allowing about 10cm (4") between sets and about 30cm (12") between rows. Size of sets 14/21mm. (200g of sets [approximately 50 sets] will plant a row of approximately 5m [16'], 400g of sets will plant a row of approximately 10m [32'].)
Hints: Onion sets are a quicker and much easier way of producing onions than growing from seed. When leaves turn yellow in late summer, partially ease the bulbs out of the soil with a fork - this speeds the ripening process before harvesting later in September. HEALTH BENEFITS: One of civilisations oldest medicines. Anti-asthmatic, anti-bacterial, antiseptic. Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
