How To Grow Onion Sets: Plant each bulb 5cm deep and 15cm apart into a well drained soil. Cover with soil and water thoroughly.

Adding some general fertiliser or manure into the ground before planting will provide a good source of nourishment for the bulb to grow.

A flower stem will come up in around June to produce a flower.

You must cut the head to keep all necessary resources within the bulb.

Once the foliage starts drooping, and becomes yellow, it is time to dig up the bulbs and put them out fro drying.

After digging them up, clean any excess soil off the bulbs. Tie them up in a bunch of 8 to 10 bulbs and hang them up in a dry and cool area for storage.
