Answer 1

To grow onions in a raised bed, follow these steps:

1. Select a well-draining soil mix for your raised bed.
2. Choose onion sets or seeds suited for your climate and desired onion type (bulbing or green onions).
3. Plant onion sets or seeds in early spring, spacing them according to the variety's recommendations.
4. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season.
5. Fertilize the onions with a balanced fertilizer periodically.
6. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
7. Harvest the onions when the tops have dried and fallen over, then cure them before storage.
