Instructions for Use

Onion Sets & Shallots

Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of 30 cm to promote strong root development for onion sets and shallots. Ensure the soil is free from weeds and large clumps for optimal growth.

Planting: Plant organic Sturon onion sets, Red Baron onion sets, and Red Sun shallots early in spring, as soon as the risk of severe frost has passed. Position the bulbs pointed side up, about 3 cm deep. Maintain a spacing of 10-15 cm between onion sets, 20 cm between shallots, and 30 cm between rows. Press the bulbs gently into the soil and cover them lightly with earth.

Care: Keep the soil slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Apply organic fertilizer regularly to support healthy growth and resistance to diseases.

Harvesting: Sturon onion sets can be harvested in early summer, around 90 days after planting. Red Baron onion sets mature in mid-summer, approximately 100 days after planting. Red Sun shallots are ready for harvest in late summer, after about 120 days. Harvest when the foliage turns yellow and begins to die back. Carefully lift the onions and shallots from the soil and allow them to dry for 2-3 weeks in a well-ventilated, dry area to enhance storage longevity.

Oak Mushroom Dowels

Preparation: Use healthy, fresh hardwood logs, preferably oak, with a diameter of 10-30 cm.

Inoculation: Drill holes 6-8 mm wide and insert the mushroom dowels. Seal the holes with beeswax to prevent drying out and contamination. Store the logs in a shady, moist location, or partially bury them in the soil to maintain a stable moisture level.

Harvesting: Depending on growing conditions, the first oak mushrooms can be harvested 6 to 12 months after inoculation. Harvest by gently twisting the mushrooms off the log.

Storage

Onion sets and shallots: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent sprouting and spoilage. Avoid direct sunlight and excessively warm conditions. Oak mushroom dowels: Store in a cool, dark, and humid place until use. To prevent drying out, keep them in a sealed bag or container with lightly moistened wood shavings.
