Shallots Sets
Shallots sets
Sets are generally planted in spring, from mid-March to mid-April. Plant them 2cm (¾in) deep in drills or gently push them individually into loose soil, so the tip is just showing at the surface. Space them 15–20cm (6–8in) apart, in rows 30–45cm (12–18in) apart. Firm the soil around the sets and water well.
