Get a variety that makes big ones, such as Ailsa Craig exhibition
ontions, or sweet spanish; grow where they will get direct sun from
dawn to dark; plant good and early in the north, and not too deep;
frequent cultivation, and lots of manure or good compost.

It will depend on the kind you have, and whether you want sweet ones, or what.
Being in Ohio you don't need either the southern sweet onions (Vidalia types) or
northern ones, (Walla Walla). You could grow either, or Ailsa Craig, a big kind,
or a neutral day onion. Candy, or Super Star. But you probably should start from
plants, and get them in NOW

Space. In my experience, it's important to leave them lots of
"shoulder" room.

....Compost: because a rind is a terrible thing to waste.

it is the kind of onions, you grow, too.
