Planting 4,000 Onions!!!

In this video, Janette and Jeremiah show how we plant our candy onions. We also show about laying the plastic mulch and the planter machine.

I'm really enjoying these videos on planting with plastic.

[@TheNealsHomestead]

growing is plastic had been a good deal for us. We use the photo and biodegradable kind.

[@WhistleThicket]

That's a lot of onions! I only planted about 40 for my family! Good luck with the harvest!

[@TheNealsHomestead]

We sell produce at a Farmers market. That's why we have so many. Thanks for visiting us! Hope you come again!

Where did you get that water wheel from?

[@SullivanFamilyHomestead]

Fantastic video!! The right tools make a tedious job, better. :-)

[@TheNealsHomestead]

Sullivan Family Homestead Thank you! I'll watch several of your videos

[@Lakshmikumar08]

Wonderful and awesome

[@TheNealsHomestead]

+Lakshmi Kumar thank you! Its just around the corner that we will be planting onions for 2018. Have a happy New Year! - Janette

[@varnamq3]

Just a novice question after harvesting onions, do you replant second set of onions on the same mulching sheets?

[@dumbugy]

Why do you leave a space in the middle of the rows?

[@jonsydor642]

What do you use now to punch hole in the plastic since you no longer use the transplanter with the water wheel?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

We still use the transplanter. In fact we used it entirely this spring. We had to get a newer tractor and it can gear down and move slower.. there's a video. "Planting 10,000 Onions"

[@EZ570]

A rain-flo water wheel on some other brand transplanter?

[@jonsydor642]

What was the name of the company that sold you the seed transplants?

[@TheNealsHomestead]

The pinion company is Dixsondale. They are in Texas. It's a huge company and you should be able to find it online
