Planting 300 Onion Bulbs in Zone 8a | Raised Bed Garden

In this video, we’re planting 300 onion bulbs in our Zone 8a raised bed garden using rich compost soil. This is a practical, real-life look at how we plant onions for our homestead. We planted our onions in a 4′ x 16′ raised bed that my husband built, spacing them at about 4 onion bulbs per square foot. 🌱 Tools Used in This Video: • Planting square: https://amzn.to/3O3Wjv1 As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. 🧅 Onion varieties planted: 150 Texas Sweet onions 75 red onions 75 white onions These are short-day onions, which are best suited for our Zone 8a garden. Short-day onions begin forming bulbs when daylight reaches about 10–12 hours, making them ideal for southern and warmer growing zones. We purchased our onion bulbs from our local hardware store, and they were supplied by Dutch Valley Growers. 🌱 Garden Q&A from the video Did you know collards are biennial? Biennial plants grow over two years: Year 1: You harvest and eat the leaves Year 2: The plant flowers and produces seeds This makes collards a great option for gardeners interested in seed saving and self-sufficiency.
