Onion help needed!
« on: May 03, 2012, 20:14 »
Evening all,

Yes sorry me again :( the onion I planted in then pool seem to have forced them selfs up from the soil? Should I just straitened up and cover with some compost or is the soil to hard to grow onions?

Thanks in advance

I think they'll be fine as they are,  as long as they have roots.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

did you push them down into the soil when you planted them or did you dig a hole with a trowl?

if you pushed them in thats why there jacking them selves out. just re cover them with some lose soil when they stop and you'll be fine
