Helpful Tools

Organic Matter (Compost): 

Compost or another form of organic matter is a good way to improve soil drainage for more productive onions.

Fertilizer:

Planting – Phosphate does not move through the soil after planting and is essential for onion growth. Consider working Fertilome Tomato and Vegetable Food (7-22-8), Bone Meal (0-10-0) or IFA 11-52-0 Granular Fertilizer into the soil when planting.

Growing – After planting, you can use an all-purpose garden fertilizer-IFA Garden Fertilizer (16-16-8) or IFA Grand Champion (16-16-16) are great options-to help the onions grow, but you should stop adding fertilizer once the bulb has formed.
