Rivka - out of curiosity, how large are you onion beds? How do you
deal with weeds? -Allan in Wv

I don't do a whole lot of any one crop, just a little each of a lot of them. Onions last year were 650 row feet.

Weeds are controlled, mostly, by shallow rototilling between rows, and by hand hoeing within the row a couple of times during the season.

Fresh-market organic produce, small scale
