Transplanting onions involves carefully moving onion seedlings from their starting location to a garden bed or desired growing space. The "trench method" is a popular approach.
Here's a breakdown of the trench method of transplanting onion seedlings:
-
Prepare a Trench: Scoop out a trench in your garden bed that is approximately 1 to 2 inches deep. This provides a space for the delicate roots to settle.
-
Gently Remove Seedlings: Carefully separate a cell or group of onion seedlings. Onion seedlings are delicate and require careful handling to avoid damage.
-
Place Seedlings in Trench: Set seedlings into the prepared trench. Backfill gently with soil.
