Know your Onions!!!

[Elaineb]

I would like to have a go at some Onions, so I have bought Allium Centurion..50 for £1.27 from Wilkos.

Now what

Can I grow them in a root trainer or straight into a large half barrel or both

I take it these are sets (rather than seeds), if they were mine they would go straight into the ground.

yea sets...Thanks Teb, so how deep and how many in my barrel?

Pointy end up , just deep enough so that there is a bit above ground (watch out for birds tugging them up), 4" - 6" between sets and roughly 9" between rows is typical

[Pies]

In a barrel id plant them 6" between plants all way round

If you look at the square foot gardening thread you should be able to get 16 sets in a 1ft sq cell, one every 4 inches in each direction.
