How to Guide
Planting Onions and Shallots
Prepare the ground with our Pre-Planting Onion, Garlic & Shallot Fertiliser to ensure strong bulb development and growth, early ripening and maturity, good skin and bulb firmness.
Planting Sets:
Place onion and shallot sets in the soil with their pointed ends facing upwards. This ensures proper growth orientation.
Leave 5 to 10cm (2 to 4 inches) of space between individual onions and 15 to 20cm (6 to 8 inches) between shallots.
Create rows of onions with 25cm to 30cm (10 inches to 1 foot) of spacing between them. For shallots, allow 30 to 45cm (1 foot to 18 inches) between rows.
Planting Onion Plants:
Utilise a dibber to create holes in the soil that are the same depth as the plants' original root depth in their cell tray.
Place the plants into the holes, ensuring they sit at the same depth they were in their cell tray.
Gently water the area to facilitate proper settling of the plants into the soil.
