So what exactly causes small onions to ripen? The second part of our article answered this question.

Remember these mistakes

Very often the reason for a poor quality harvest is the gardener himself.

If you forget to take care of your onions, they will not give you a good harvest.

Take note of the fact that during the growth of the feather, watering of this garden crop should be frequent and abundant. By mid-June, reduce it to 1 time per week.

From the beginning of August, watering of onions should be stopped completely. The crop will be saturated with water on its own with the help of atmospheric precipitation.

It is also extremely important to constantly loosen the soil so that the onion root system can be enriched with oxygen.
