I sowed some onion seeds 4 weeks ago into individual modules. The seedlings are coming along nicely, they're 3-4 inches tall. When, if at all, should I transplant them into larger modules??? Also how do I do this without damaging the plants as they do look rather fragile??

I don't personally transplant into modules, only to transplant into their final positions. I just transplant when about 5-6 inches tall into final position.
The reason is as stated, they are rather fragile. So, let them grow better roots and move them once only.

But I thought the compost would go "stale" etc if not moved??Comment

Onions don't need many nutrients. You can give them just as much by a little seaweed feed in with their water every now and then.Originally posted by adjohnson1971 View Post
And it's not going to be long before they go into their final positions.....a few more weeks now.

OK< is this the same for leeks?? as they're in the same sort of modules and are around the same size??Comment

Yes, but leeks usually go in much later than onions anyway.
What I do with those is to find a corner and plant them out as a module rather than split them. then, when they go into their final positions, dig up the ones you need and just transplant them.
