Years ago I bought some multiplying onion bulbs from a local business that has long since shut down. When I planted the bulbs, they sprouted into a thick MASS of scallions that were absolutely delightful!!! I have no idea what the name of them, or where to find them. Can you help??
There are so many varieties that will match that description. I wouldn't know where to start. I do know one that comes to mind, and that would be lisbon bunching onions. They are absolutely delicious and grow in an unstoppable clump.
Have tried to eliminate them in the past but they always come back in abundance
Galveston area, I. Have higher winds than most due to no wind breaks, building,tre s etc. Wide open except for the house. Both types have layed down. Will they recover? Planted in February after the semi annual sale in Hitchcock.
As long as they have plenty of air circulation, which it sounds like it has, it should not be a problem. They will likely recover, and continue to grow at an odd angle.
can the onions be fed with the chicken pellets during there growing period
I am uncertain as to if you mean chicken feed or chicken feces.
Putting chicken feed into your onions would be an utter disaster with weeds quickly taking over your onions.
Chicken feces will need to be composted prior to using to avoid burning your plants, but it can be used once well composted.
Planted onion sets 5 days ago, second day 2 had gone? so netted them and then 2 days later 24 onions have completely gone? What could be taking them?
Could be small rodents, squirrels, chipmunks, or birds. Deer also have been known to find onions and eat them.
Surround onions with a chicken wire enclosure. Try some of the ideas in the links below.

I try every year unsuccessfully to grow onions. They never develop bulbs. What am I doing wrong? Ty krissy
Check your soil.The pH should register 6.2 to 6.8. The growing conditions outlined in this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/onion/onion-info-tips-for-growing-big-onions.htm
I am to plant herbs and various onions and peppers in metal wash tubs and buckets. Before planting seedlings and/or small plants I'll have about 6" of river rock in the bottom with Miracle Grow soil om top, about a foot or so. Question is, with drainage rocks will it still be necessary to cut or drill drainage holes in the buckets before filling?
Yes, you will want as much drainage as possible. It will be best to use an organic potting mix with amended compost, or other synthetic feed WITHOUT slow release nitrogen.
