1 Soil needs to be well-drained, loose, and rich in nitrogen; compact soil affects bulb development. 2  Till in aged manure or fertilizer the fall before planting. 3  Onions are heavy feeders and need constant nourishment to produce big bulbs.
Most soils are slightly acidic, that is, slightly less than pH 7, which is neutral. Very rainy areas, such as the Pacific Northwest where I live, tend to have very acidic soils, which is great for rhododendrons but isn't the best soil for tomatoes. Tomatoes grow best in soils that are just slightly acidic, from a pH of 5.5 to 6.8. Garden centers sell home pH testers that are adequate for determining your soil's pH level, if you don't want to send it out for testing. It's not difficult to modify your soil's pH level.
