Bending Over Onions

Question

Everybody tells me that I have to step the onion tops over when tops turn into seed and push the onions deeper into ground. Something is wrong cause all I get is 50 cent size every year. Should I try this way once?

Answer 1

You can try it and it may help. I would add some organic material to the soil, maybe a little sand. If the soil is too heavy, onions have a hard time growing very large.
