Dear Onion Farmers: It's Time to Start Preparing Beds for Onions ! 🌱🧅
Hey fellow farmers! As the planting season kicks off, let's get those onion beds ready for a bumper harvest. Home Harvest brings you top-notch varieties: Red Creole and Red King. These gems are perfect for our local soils, delivering juicy bulbs with great flavor and storage life.

Grab them at https://homeharvest.co.ug/seeds and let's grow! 🚀
Proper bed prep is key to healthy onions and happy profits. Here are five simple, effective ways to nail it:
1. Pick the Right Soil & Balance pH ⚖️
Choose well-drained sandy loam to dodge rot during rains. Test your soil for a pH of 6.0-6.8—easy at local ag centers. Add lime if needed for nutrient magic! This sets Red King up for superstar growth.
2. Till & Boost with Organics 🌿
Deep-till a month early, mixing in compost or manure for rich, crumbly soil. Rotate crops to skip diseases. For nurseries, raise beds 30cm high and 1m wide—perfect for starting our seeds strong.
3. Shape Raised Beds & Space Smartly 📏
Form 4ft-wide raised beds to beat flooding. Space rows 15-20cm apart, plants 5-10cm for airflow and big bulbs. Red Creole loves this setup to avoid mildew and thrive!
4. Fertilize Wisely for Nutrient Power 💪
Use balanced NPK based on soil tests—focus on nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Add sulfur on sandy spots. Feed at key stages to fuel Red King's hybrid energy for uniform, market-ready onions.
5. Irrigate & Mulch for Moisture Bliss 💧
Set up even watering (drip if you can) and mulch with grass to hold moisture, zap weeds, and cool roots. Crucial in dry spells—keeps plants stress-free for top yields.
With these tips, your onions will shine! 🌟 Visit https://homeharvest.co.ug/seeds now, prep those beds, and watch your farm flourish. Let's harvest success together—happy farming! 👩🌾👨🌾
