This is the first time I’ve heard that the shape of the bulb depends on the depth of the planting, although I’ve been growing this crop for several years.I always thought that this was a feature of this or that variety. Thanks to the author for the information. I'll try to experiment with planting this year.

I don’t even consider planting onions with seeds; I always plant with onion sets. I bought a half-liter jar and planted it. It's not expensive either. And a jar is enough for me. And I take bigger ones.
