Was given a few onion sets for free in the Garden Centre to try out. (no idea of type)
Do I need to "chit" them if you want to call them that.
I read varying reports. Do and Dont.
Some say, just plant out the sets and others say leave them for 4-6weeks (like your spuds) in a cool light space.
Due to space constraints Ill be trying them in a self watering container.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I've never heard of chitting onions, just store them in a cool place while your waiting for planting in workable soil, if theres only a few you can start them off in pots. ;D ;D ;D
If space is limited, try growing them among your flowers in the borders. I do, it adds to the greenery ;D
