Shallots
Guide to growing shallots
Like onions, shallots like a firm soil with a fine tilth. If you’ve rotovated or dug over, ‘heel and toe’ tread the soil firm prior to planting. They will tolerate acidic soil to about pH 5.5 but prefer neutral soils, pH 7.0 so lime if needed to reduce acidity. Prepare the soil by raking in 60 grams per square metre of general purpose fertiliser like fish, blood & bone or Growmore a week before planting out. https://www.crocodiletrading.co.uk/polytunnels/
