How to Grow Scallions Seed Tape

Step 1

Timing

Unfold the seed tape and separate into two strips. Place the seed tape on the surface and lightly cover with soil, 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep, in rows 15cm (6″) apart. Scallions can be thinned to 2-5cm (1-2″).

Step 2

Starting

Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8

Fertile and well-drained soil in full sun is essential. Add well-rotted compost and dig ½-1 cup balanced organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each 3m (10′) of row. Keep moisture high in the top 20-30cm (8-12″) of soil. To increase the blanched white lower portion, simply hill soil up around the stems as they grow. Provide August-planted scallions with the frost protection of a cloche or heavy row cover as the first frost date approaches.

Step 3

Growing

Ideal pH: 5.5-6.5 (6.0-6.8 for scallions).

Fertile and well-drained soil in full sun is essential. Add well-rotted compost and dig ½-1 cup balanced organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each 3m (10′) of row. Keep moisture high in the top 20-30cm (8-12″) of soil. Most of the bulb should form on the surface of the soil, so don’t transplant too deeply. Bulb size is dependent on the size of the tops: the bigger the tops, the bigger the bulb. Provide August-planted scallions with the frost protection of a cloche or heavy row cover as the first frost date approaches.

Step 4

Germination

Days to maturity: From transplant date.

In optimal conditions at least 75% of seeds should germinate. Usual seed life: 1 year. Per 100′ row: 260 seeds (scallions 1.2M), per acre: 76M seeds (scallions 1,045M).

Step 5

Harvest

Harvest scallions once they are at least 1cm (1/2”) thick and from 20-30cm (8-12”) tall. Scallions should be green and upright. Gently remove soil from around the base and carefully pull up the full scallion.

Tips

Disease & Pests

Botrytis blast and downy mildew are common leaf diseases. One starts with white spots and streaks, the other with purple-grey areas on leaves. Leaves wither from the top down and plants die prematurely. Separate the overwintered and spring crops because disease starts in older plants and moves to younger. Avoid overhead watering and plant in open sunny locations. Use lots of compost and practice strict sanitation and crop rotation.

Companion Planting

The pungent odour of onions repels many pests and also protects nearby garden vegetables. Plant chamomile and summer savory near onions to improve their flavour. Onions also work well alongside beets, Brassicas, carrots, dill, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, strawberries and tomatoes. Don’t plant onions near asparagus, or peas of any kind.
