Planting
Cultivate shallots by arranging them in rows within any well-drained and firm soil, basking in the warmth of full sun. Enhance the planting area weeks ahead by blending in well-rotted garden compost to elevate both drainage and soil fertility. It’s advisable to avoid planting shallots in freshly manured soil. In areas prone to excessive moisture, consider cultivating shallots in raised beds for optimal results.
When using sets to grow shallots, ensure the bulb tips protrude just above the soil surface during planting. Maintain a spacing of 18cm (7″) between individual bulbs and 30cm (12″) between rows, fostering a conducive environment for healthy shallot development. Follow these guidelines for a successful shallot harvest in your garden.
