Are onions good for aquaponics? I have already planted them I'm just wondering if i should be counting on them or not. |

Spring onions and tree onions grow really well in my system, I haven't tried regular brown, white or purple yet, but expect they will do just as well. |

Only the ones you use straight away are good the ones you want to keep seem to have to much water and spoil quickly |

I've had good luck with yellow and red onions growing in the system. I don't know about the keeping qualities of AP onions, I just pull one when I need it (most of my onions are in soil beds). I know there are some things you can do to extend keeping time and that Sweet onions don't keep as long. Here's some info about storage from one of supply companies - http://www.gardeners.com/how-to/harvest-cure-store-onions/7366.html |

I had spring onions grow super well in my green house 6 months on and they still hadn't gone to seed and were tender, red onions grew well - search for 'karmen' as a long storer (general) maybe drop the water height when they mature so not to promote rot.
