There are two types of onions 
that are most commonly grown 
by home gardeners—the young 
green or bunching onions and the mature bulb 
or dry onion. Green, or bunching onions, may 
be produced from seed, sets or multiplier bulbs. 
The set method is generally used among most 
home gardeners for the earliest green onions. 
However, the seed method produces a much 
better quality of onion and is the common 
method among the market gardener trade.

any good garden soil will be satisfactory so long

to each square foot, and in addition use four or 
five pounds of commercial fertilizer to each 100
