Don’t Bury Your Onions Gardeners often regard the onion as a root crop. Actually, the onion bulb is 95 percent leaf tissue ac cording to Jeff Jabco, Delaware County Cooperative Extension Agricultural Agent. The bulb has a wafer-thin stem, referred to as a “stem plate’’ because it is flat, much like a dinner plate. Roots grow downward from this compressed stem. The rest of the onion bulb is composed of the thickened bases of the leaves. Gardeners frequently make the mistake of mounding soil over the onion bulb. When this is done, the bulb stops enlarging and decay organisms often invade the bulb tissue. The bulb must continue to be exposed to the sun; gardeners are advised to leave about two thirds of the bulb exposed. For true root crops, such as carrots, the tops should be covered with soil.
