Setton Onions

Jamieson Brothers® Setton Onion Sets - 200 pack


Spring Planting


Bulb size 14-21cm

Setton has strong skin, an average neck, a golden yellow colour and an excellent flavour. The shape of the onion is more uniform than the Sturon. Setton gives a huge yield and produces very consistent round onions.

These onion sets are small, immature onions. By harvest time each one will increase in size to a full-sized onion.

SOIL PREPARATION

Onions require a well drained, fertile soil that will need to be deeply dug over before planting. For the best results dig in organic compost or manure a few weeks before planting. This will help add nutrients, improve soil structure and hold moisture.

PLANTING

Plant the bulbs from March to April.
Prepare the rows 22cm apart and then space the bulbs 10cm apart and 2-5cm deep along each row. Press the bulbs gently into the ground, nose facing upwards, cover them with a thin layer of soil and firm the soil around the bulb.

CARE

Keep the area weed free by regular hoeing and ensure the bulbs remain covered with soil. Keep them well watered during the growing season. Stop watering when the bulbs have swollen and expose the top of the bulbs to the light by gently pulling back the earth around them. Break off any flower stems that may appear.

HARVESTING

When the leaves turn yellow and the foliage collapses, leave in the ground for 2 more weeks before lifting. Lift gently from underneath using a fork so as not to damage any bulbs. Remove any dirt, roots and brittle stems, spread them out in a crate or on a sack to enable them to dry for 7-10 days. When dry they can be placed in nets or tied together and hung in a cool but frost free place within a dry and well ventilated environment.


These may then be stored for up to 8 months.

Grown from cultivated stock.
