In this episode I'm gonna get to plant out my onions, now they're going out in the
ground because it's still quite warm but we are due for about a week of rain so
it'll get them settled although it's warm it is overcast and not too hot so
it's a perfect time to get them out they shouldn't will it so much anyway that's
coming right up after this. Okay so the first thing we need to do is rotovate
the areas that we want, now this has previously been dug so we rotovate
there and then we need to get on to the next step okay folks so as you can see
here I've rotovated this it's only a rough rotovation just to break it up
because the grounds already been previously dug but what I have here is a
granular onion feed and this is made by a company called grow more so if you're
looking for it we may have it on our website guys so check that out the link
will be in the description below and we've got a shop there with lots of the
firtilisers and stuff that we are currently using so and what we're going
to do is just give this a good feed and we'll work that in as we go
the whole row last one there we go guys so that row is now had its feed we'll
work that out in there with a little fork and what we've done because now at
this site we haven't bothered build any raised beds yet and that will come over
time but as you know we've had the sort of shed project which more is coming
up on that and again it'll be a link for that in the description below or up here
as well in the corner and also the polytunnel rebuild we've had to do that
as well so there'll be a link up here as well now what I've done here I've
created paths I've aside to allow to water and everything else or not
trampling on the growing area and we just made little narrow beds because
that's all we need for the onions and all I'm doing is just forking this feed in
guys it's nothing major
There we are, so that's all done there now. Next thing we're now ready to start planting
out these onions now these were put in sets quite a while ago so all we've got
to do is pop them out and as you can see we have a fantastical root system so you
should be able to make that out from back there guys and it's literally just
a case of getting them in the ground about a foot apart give them room to
grow guys okay and we will water these in really well later on
the great thing about growing them in this way with the in a sort of module is
that the birds can't come along and pull them out because they've pretty much
grown at that point we'll just keep working down the line anything that's
gone soft we will get rid of and this will give us a great yield of onions
later down a year
as you can see the Sun is just poking his head through but we have got rain
forecast for later but I will still water these in guys and as you can see
they have plenty of room to to grow I'm just burying the bulb just below the
surface and it can now that when there guys has gone really soft okay
very soft so we don't want to be planting that one
and it's a quick job that you can be doing now get them out they're not going
to mind a little bit of harsher weather and which should be fine from any
frost's now for the rest of the year however you know what they say that
until May is out you know you never know now I know I'm under the camera at the
moment but I'm just finishing this row while I'm here and we can get on with
the next bit which is watering
it really is that easy guys give them a good watering now
and there is one nice row of onions all watered Done. well guys that's it
it's a short episode I know but I just want to show you how I'm getting the
onions in we will woodchip the path either side which will help to cut down
weed and stuff so what and it'll make weeding these areas very easy I'm gonna
crack on no one get the rest in hopefully it'll go well for us all and
we'll have cracking results question of the day what variety of onions you growing?
