Hello all.

Do I need to add manure to my onion bed before planting  sets?

Keep the faith.

No, bit high in N for onions.

I though alliums liked nitrogen rich soils?

Robinson's Mammoth Onions recommend digging in manure about 4" below the surface - see their web site for full details. I thought it would make them too soft and lead to problems. Try a bit of both and see.

Recently manured soil may lead to too much leafy growth according to Joy Larkam
