Growing Tips:

Planting: Start seeds indoors 12–16 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors once seedlings are sturdy and temperatures are consistently mild.

Spacing: Allow at least 60 cm between plants to give each onion room to expand into a giant bulb.

Soil: Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Onions thrive in fertile, free-draining soil with a pH of 6.5–7.0.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during bulb formation. Avoid waterlogging, which can stunt growth or cause rot.

Feeding: Apply a balanced, high-nitrogen fertilizer regularly to encourage strong leaf growth, which fuels the bulb. Switch to a potassium-rich feed once bulbs start to swell.

Support: Large onion tops may need staking to keep them upright and prevent damage in wind or rain.

Harvesting: Harvest when tops begin to yellow and fall over. For competition-size onions, let bulbs reach maximum size before lifting carefully.
