Plant red shallot plants directly in the garden from February to April. Choose a sunny and warm location where the soil does not get too wet.
Plant the red shallots approximately 2.5 to 5 cm deep in rows with a mutual planting distance of 10 cm and 25 cm between the rows. Make sure that the shallot plants receive sufficient water for the first few weeks so that the shallot plants can root well.
Fertilize red shallot plants only with potassium-rich and low-nitrogen fertilizer. This ensures a better resistance and durability of the shallot sets.
Do not use nitrogen-rich manure such as compost, farmyard manure or cow manure pellets, this will do more harm than good. A lot of nitrogen provides a lot of leaves, which is a shame. If necessary, place insect mesh over the shallots so that the birds cannot reach them.
The red shallots can be harvested from July to August. After harvesting, you need to let shallots dry well, this will take about 4 weeks. Tie and / or twist the shallot leaves together and dry the shallots hanging. After 4 weeks, the tops and roots can be removed and the shallots can be stored in a cool and dark place.
