Your onions are looking good. I reckon they will be show standard. Don't forget the super phosthate dressing on the bed and possibly lime.

I was thinking of using Osmocote

I used just Q4 last year but this Osmocote which I have never used before, is slow releasing high potash with some nitrogen also

Looking good as usual. Where do you get those really useful looking ring stakes?

Investigated the Osmocote, looks good stuff. Dan, uses a slow release fertilizer in his potions, but, going by my Robinsons Bible of veg. growing, they do not recommend feeding onions during growth, as it causes thick necks and poor keeping qualities, if you wish to give them a feed, nitrate of soda, 1 teaspoon to 4.5 litres of water. Don't know???, you read one thing and then something else says the complete opposite....
