    Hi guys, Fatzo reporting here again with a new question after doing my weekly shopping. Onions are so expensive! I got my hands on some seeds but the first batch I planted sprouted but somehow got all bogged down in heavy rains, and then the heat vaked the soil to arock hard and my onions look pitiful.

    What is the best soil to plant onions? What can i add to my soil to make it 100% perfect for my onions?


    Loving the season!

    Hi anybody have an idea? For now I started a batch in a crate with regular soil (it’s a bit clayish) that I mixed 1:1 with rice husks. Drains super well, I like that I think it’s good. I’m a bit worried though since I haven’t yet had a dry spell, do you think I’ll have to water more than once a day?


    Loving the season!
