Just how many onions..........

Is enough? I already have 120+ potted on and about triple that to go!

I'm running out of pots and need a (few) new beds? :(

 

The answer to that, Vince is, how many do you need?:gnthb:

 

I tend to think in how-many-per-week we eat for things like that.

120 onions is 2 a week, and 16 left over. Is that enough?

 

I reckon they're a bit like spuds....can't have too many

 

With spuds you are talking 4 to 5 a day on average, but onions about 2 a week. :gnthb:

 

David is quite correct it all depends on just how many onions you eat.

We tend to eat far more onions than potatoes (I like to cook and mess around with recipes) so we do use a great many onions than potatoes.

I have already planted up 20 rows of onions so far this year and one row of garlic I have yet to put in my shallots and red onions, plus there's the 300 or so Japanese onions I planted last year.

So it's really upto you just how many you are going to want/need.Hel.xxx.
