Default ANOTHER onion question

My onion sets arrived today and Im so excited. Question is can I plant them alongside the PSB? Im a bit short on space and as they will be in the ground till summer they will be right where i planned to put other stuff?
Also did I read that its a good idea to start them off in modules? I have done a search for this but couldnt find the post I was after. So apologies for repeating questions that have already been asked

Cheers hon, I just this minute found that thread too. You say you use coffee grounds. Could I use the stuff from the cafitierre? Or is that a really dumb question?

No worries; my auntie used to chuck all her tea pot remains on her roses, so I grew up with this being normal behaviour.
