In my hand I have a bag of fleemers Top stting onions  from Heritage Harvest, the directions say..

Make a furrow 2-3 inches deep,put bonemeal in the bottomand mix with soil, Plant the individual bulbs 6-12 inches apart and cover with soil.

For potato onins.. I have a bag of Broome Longkeeper

Furrow 4 inches, bonemeal as above,3 5 inches apart.

Hope this helps the previous two questions.

I should add I have never grown them yet so therte may be folks who have personal experience with them
