Growing Australian Brown Onion

• The best sowing time for Australian Brown is from April to the end of May.
• Onions like soil that drains well. Heavy or clay soils should be avoided or amended with lots of comarticle.
• Because onions are such a long crop, include an organic fertiliser in the soil preparation.
• For direct seeding, sow the Onion Seeds in rows 12-18″ apart.
• Upon planting, add comarticle to the soil, but since onions are heavy feeders they will grow best if fertilized throughout their growth.
