Part 5/7:
As harvest time approached, the telltale sign became clear: when the onion necks began to flop over, it was time to pull them from the ground. Harvesting involved trimming the tops off to better facilitate weighing and examining the yield from each method. Initial expectations indicated that a comparison of weight and count among the various planting techniques would reveal valuable insights into which method yielded the best onions.
Results of the Experiment
Upon completing the harvest, the onions were laid out for a detailed assessment. Each variety was marked and measured for a systematic comparison. The results illustrated that the trenched and spaced method yielded more substantial weight and thus a better overall harvest compared to the tightly spaced, unfertilized onions.
