How to Grow Agrimax Red Onions:
Planting Location: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Red onions prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0) and thrive best in rich, loamy soil with good organic matter content.
Sowing the Seeds: Start seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date, or sow directly outdoors once the soil temperature reaches around 55-75°F (13-24°C). Plant seeds about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep in rows, spaced 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.
Transplanting: If you started seeds indoors, transplant the seedlings outdoors when they are strong enough to handle, and the danger of frost has passed. Ensure they are spaced about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) apart for optimal bulb development.
Watering: Water regularly, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Onions need plenty of water, especially during dry spells, but avoid excessive moisture that can lead to rot.
Fertilizing: Onions benefit from a balanced fertilizer. Apply a slow-release fertilizer before planting, and supplement with nitrogen-rich fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy leaf growth and bulb development.
Weeding and Mulching: Keep the onion bed weed-free by regularly removing any weeds around the plants. Mulch can be applied to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth.
Harvesting: Red onions are typically ready for harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, which is usually around 100-120 days after planting. Gently pull the onions out of the soil, and allow them to cure in a warm, dry area for a week or two before storing.
Storage: After curing, store red onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. When properly stored, they can last for several months.
