Title: What to grow in previous onion bed?
Post by: Greenqueen on May 16, 2011, 15:51:10

Hi
I have just harvested my very first onions and I am wondering what would be suitable to grow in the raised bed they were in?
Is there anything that is known to grow particularly well in a 'previously onion' bed?
Thanks

You can slip onions in anwhere in a rotation system, so almost anything will grow there afterwards. My rotation is pots legs roots onions bras.

I'm planning on planting brassicas in my garlic bed (if the garlic ever fattens up!) :)

I often use the onion bed for leeks and other autumn crops such as late cabbages or kale or pak choy. I often give it a little rest first, and put in some compost etc.
