Our Organic Garlic Fertilizer works great on onion plants too offering nutrients that onions need like nitrogen, calcium, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc, sulfate sulfur, all from organic sources.  Since onions are also heavy feeders, and to grow those healthier plants that yield larger bulbs, apply our organic garlic fertilizer using the same application rates. Onions require a high source of nitrogen, so fertilization or great nutrient rich soil is essential for a great crop.  You can apply our garlic fertilizer or an all purpose fertilizer into the soil a or so week before planting. Apply fertilizer three weeks after planting and then continue with applications every 2 to 3 weeks. Once the neck starts feeling soft do not apply any more fertilizer. This should occur approximately 4 weeks prior to harvest.  Water immediately after feeding and maintain moisture during the growing season.
