Today’s Common Gardening Question: How much water do onions need?
The Answer: Onions need around 1 to 2 inches of water per week, depending on the species, weather, and other factors. The best bet is to give them 1 inch of water each week and increase it to 2 inches during the middle of summer. Sprinkle them daily, or water them thoroughly once or twice per week.
