  • Straggly onions - help please

    I planted some Sturon onion sets a couple of months ago in a mix of soil and compost.

    All the sets have grown but the leaves are twisted and straggly although the plants seem to be healthy at soil level.

    I planted another group a few weeks ago in plain soil and these sets (from the same pack) all have nice upright leaves.

    Is anything wrong with the first lot?

    maybe a bit too much feed in the compost you mixed with your soil causing the onions to grow a bit soft leafwise. I'd let them grow on.

      Thanks very much, that's put my mind at rest.
      They look sturdy and healthy where they emerge from the ground. I'll leave them be for now then.
      Many thanks
