Hi All,

I have started "carving" beds for this years onion and
shallot planting. Not to ask too stupid a question, but
how deep should I make the beds? Would 10" be enough?
(It has to accommodate all kinds of vegetable scraps at
the bottom.)

And since I will be putting vegetable scraps at the bottom,
how long should I wait before planing the bulbs? Can I
do it the same day?


i am not sure what you are planting...

seeds, bulbs (also called sets aka small onions
or small shallots), or actively growing plants?
