2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Hello chums

Just a gentle reminder, pics need to be in on July 1st Not many of us left now

Out of interest, are any of you giving your Onions any 'special' treatment? I just added some BF&B prior to planting, and some C/M pellets a couple of weeks ago.

Cheers...Freddy

 

I was wondering about the 'feeding' business but haven't fed them so far...i was hoping by now they would have got their roots into all the gubbins i put in when i prepared the bed last autumn....

 

Think of it as pumping up a tyre

 

Liquid feed? Come on John, spill the beans

 

Too late for Comfrey? Damn, just last night I asked a friend to get hold of some for me

Vince said about it some time ago, but what are it's attributes?

 

Funnily enough, Monty made up a brew last week on G/W. Pretty sure he said it takes 4 weeks...

 

I thought you were talking about comfrey wine when I read that (there's doubts these days as to whether it's safe these days).

I'm cutting tall comfrey (+ nettles) at the moment and putting it in my collection of old ex-cold water storage tanks. When it stinks to high heaven it will be ready - about 3 weeks in this weather.

 

That means mine is ready then.....do you wanna buy some Freddy

 

Loli, you might want to put a peg on your nose, pleasant smelling it ain't

 

Funny you should say that Freddy when i gave it a stir i thought the sewers had gone west

 

I've got another dustbin full of comfrey brew on the go, to go along with the other one that is rife, ready and being used on onions, toms and most other veggies too.
