Planting;

I think you get better plants this way and it helps to keep club root at bay!

brilliant very informative. to go off topic a bit sod it its my post,,,,lol
can you succesional sow onion setts?

[Tee Gee]

Not really!

As I recall ;Onions are a crop that work on day length ???

Plus the fact there is no need to,  because they store well.

What have you in mind?

No!

Never found the need to!

Although I can't prove it I think the smell of the armillatox I use wards off the cabbage root fly.
