If I can't Ask The Audience, I'd guess that it gets the food down to the roots rather than keeping it near the surface.

Soft growth, more susceptible to disease

Anyhow, we feed the soil, not the plants.

The strong smell from cooking cabbage is from sulphur. So ... grasping for a plausible answer ... perhaps the onion prevents sulphur being formed. Something to do with alkaloid in onion perhaps ...

My Mum used to put bicarbonate of soda n with her cabbage as it kept it a nice green colour, but what she didn't realise and I only found out after I was an adult, is that it also takes all the goodness out of the cabbage!!!!

Well I've been Googling for ages trying to win myself this £1M. Seems that a walnut shell or a celery stick are recommended. Personally, I only boil it for a minute or two and the smell is entirely pleasant.

So, shaun my man, if you don't know the correct answer, you can't actually say that my answer is wrong ...
