Title: Japanese onion sets and container growing
Post by: fatgit on September 28, 2006, 12:09

I've been given a few 12inch deep, 18inch wide, 2ft long plastic containers, which would allow me to leave the main patch over the winter, and dig in some manure etc.

I was wondering if these would be OK for onion sets (I've already drilled drain holes in them) ?

Thanks for any replies

Probably. That sounds deep enough and large enough. Space them as you would in the soil, maybe giving them a bit extra room than usual since they're in limited soil space.
