With the right time for planting planting material, the onion crop can be harvested quite early. But in order for it to be of high quality and tasty, you need to rely on special literature. How to plant onions according to the lunar calendar will be described below.
When to board
To date, there are a huge number of varieties of onions. Each variety has not only its own characteristic appearance and taste, but also has its own requirements for the timing of placement in the ground. Usually, the germination of seeds of various varieties of such plants should be carried out at a temperature of +5–6 °C. At the same time, seedlings when sown in open ground can easily survive mild frosts.
When growing this species, the following features must be considered:
- the plant in the initial stages of its development is very demanding on the moisture content of the earth. Both excess and lack of moisture can slow down the maturation of the underground part;
- for the rapid growth of plantings, it is necessary to choose neutral fertile soils;
- before placing in the ground, organic fertilizers must be applied. In addition to organic top dressing, the site selected for growing various varieties of this species can be fertilized with mineral fertilizers (urea, superphosphate, potassium chloride).
The sooner the planting in open ground is carried out, the better the soil preparation should be carried out (the earth needs to be fertilized and dug up).
It is best to plant planting material of this crop in the spring. The best time is after the risk of spring frost returning has passed.
However, there is a lunar calendar for planting onions before winter or during the year. In this case, planting material is planted both in open ground and at home in the autumn and even winter months. When it is possible to land this species in an apartment or a private house, it is detailed in special tables.
Auspicious days
Any gardener should know when to plant a lunar leek or any other variety. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that every year the lunar calendar undergoes changes, since the phase of the moon, according to which the calculation of favorable and unfavorable days is performed, shifts annually.
The table of the phases of the moon reflects the phases of the natural satellite of the Earth and shows on what days it is necessary to carry out certain activities for the cultivation of a particular variety. Based on it, the gardener can easily calculate when the time is favorable to start growing any species.
It should be noted that the optimal time for planting this species, depending on the phase of the moon, will depend on its variety, as well as the purpose of cultivation. Therefore, for each type, sowing can be performed on completely different days.
You also need to know that this procedure can be performed in winter in order to obtain seedlings.
According to the phases of the natural satellite of the Earth, sowing on a turnip should be carried out on such favorable days:
