Potato onions



Potato onions, garlic and shallots are all doing their thing through a thick layer of mulch. Onions have shallow root systems so like a thick mulch to slow weeds and water loss. Mulch also supports an amazing diversity of soil life -I cannot help having a look every now and then.


I love these Allums as you plant one bulb and they give back plenty.
