A raised bed is created by adding a layer of soil above ground level and keeping it contained in a frame. Raised bed frames can be made from timber, stone, logs or bricks.
Although onions can be grown from seed or transplants, growing from sets is definitely the easiest way to ensure a high yielding crop. Sets will typically take about 100 days tp produce decent bulbs.
Potato breeders have been labouring away in the background for decades to develop potato varieties that are great tasting, have good agronomic qualities and are highly blight resistant.
Onions are biennials but when gardening we shorten this lifecycle by growing from sets (bulbs). These bulbs are in their second year of growth so naturally will try to produce seed. To prevent this from happening many sets are heat treated.
The ability to start plants off indoors means you can get started in late Winter/early Spring much earlier than if sowing outside. However seedlings need to have adequate light and heat to grow into strong healthy plants, that's why using supplemental lighting and heat mats can be a good idea if your indoor environment cannot provide this.
Wheatgrass is the young plant of winter wheat seeds, the leaves are cut after 10-14 days and juiced. Packed full of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, wheatgrass juice is a great addition to the diet of those looking to create a healthy lifestyle.
