Bamberger onions are a traditional variety from the Bamberg region of Germany, prized for their large size and rich flavour. They have a robust, layered structure with golden-brown outer skins and tender, succulent inner layers, making them a favourite for culinary use.

How to Grow
Soil Preparation:
Onions thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Before planting, dig the soil deeply and enrich it with organic compost or manure a few weeks in advance to improve structure, add nutrients, and help retain moisture.

Planting:
Time: January to April
Spacing: Rows 22cm apart, bulbs 10cm apart within each row
Depth: Plant bulbs 2-5cm deep, pointed end facing up. Cover with a thin layer of soil and firm it down.

Care:
Keep the area weed-free by regular hoeing.
Water well throughout the growing season.
Stop watering once the bulbs have swollen.
Lightly uncover the bulbs by pulling back some soil to expose the tops.
Remove any flower stems that appear.

Harvesting & Storage:
When the leaves turn yellow and collapse, leave the onions in the ground for another two weeks.
Gently lift them with a fork to avoid damage.
Clean off dirt, remove roots, and let them dry for 7-10 days in a well-ventilated space.
Once dry, store them in nets or tie them in bunches and hang them in a cool, dry, frost-free place.
Properly stored, they can last up to 8 months.
Grown from cultivated stock.
