Most of onions hide in soil but even tiny part of them which can be seen on soil can let me expect prospective harvest.

Hidden growth
Even in the middle of cold winter, 100 onions look so healthy judging from their brisk, sharp and greenish leaves. Dry air in the winter can vaporize water easily out of soil so I regularly water once or twice a week.

The bulb growth will be much faster come spring. I like how you use rice husk to mulch. It will give back nutrient back to the soil as well.
I was wondering what the mulch was, rice husks, what a great idea! They'd be so easy to work with, I love it. Is that common practice in Japan? I've never seen rice husks used as mulch here.

Using rice husks is very popular in Japan because rice is our staple food and there are many rice paddy fields.
Rice husks is a byproduct of rice-milling but they are useful for keeping soil in planting beds moist since they have a lot of fiber.
If rice husks are available around you, I recommend you use them especially during hot summer or dry and cold winter when water can be easily vaporized.
