I don't water my onions Tony as I don't want to encourage any rotting. Here's some interesting info.

NO!!! Nothing that is growing in open ground needs watering every day.Comment

I water very little outdoors and havent ever watered onions once they are in a bed with no problems, admittedly this is partly due to the fact I cant get to my allotment every day.
If you are growing in tubs then you may have to consider some watering.Comment

Same here regarding onions - I rarely weed them either (despite what the manuals say)Originally posted by Veggielot View Post.......because you're thinking of putting the kettle on and making a pot of tea perhaps, you old weirdo. (Veggie Chicken - 25/01/18)

I do water my onion bed, not every day, but a couple of times a week in dry weather, as if they become too dry and stressed the onion will run to seed. This happens quite quickly on my clay soil, if not watched like a hawk.Last edited by Mikey; 09-07-2013, 12:55 PM.I'm only here cos I got on the wrong bus.Comment

I tend to water the onions that I have in tubs a couple of times a week, not too much water. The ones I have in the big raised beds I water maybe once a week, again not too much water.Comment

water my onions thoroughly once a week,and keep them weeded and mulched with straw,it definitely improves the crop,especially keeping the weed competition downdon't be afraid to innovate and try new things
remember.........only the dead fish go with the flow

I water mine once a week, but the ones in the pots get watered every time I'm down there. Same applies to anything else growing in pots.Comment

Excellent - that was my question too and it's been answered
Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?Comment
