     the root system is below the bulb and the   
   bulb is made up of modified leaves.  :)  of   
   course it will make a difference if the soil   
   is deficient.  onions like a pretty good   
   quality soil, but may do ok in poorer soils.   
      
     my worms really like any bits that come   
   from the garlic or onions.   
      
     i did not plant any green onion seeds   
   early this season to get some green onions.   
   oops.  all the onions i have growing that i   
   could take and eat for green onions are too   
   tough and are flowering.  my bulb onions   
   are coming along ok so far.  recent rains   
   have really helped out all of the gardens.
