I plant my onions in a raised bed bed approx. 4 ft. off the ground.my box is 10 ft. long and 6-7 in. deep.i plant my sets about 4-5 in. deep so that I get more of the white edible part of the onion. I use a hand trowel to remove them when it is time.been doing it that way for years. planted lettuce last year in the boxes to keep the rabbits from getting to it. if a rabbit jumps 4 ft. to get to my lettuce, he deserves it !!
