Hello,

I would like to grow onions next spring. I have tried to read about
this on the internet but I am getting conflicting information.

Some web sites say that onions do not require much soil and that you
can plant in containers and grow bags. Other web sites disagree. What
soil depth do you need? My instinct is that a container would be ok
but a grow bag might be too shallow.

Red Baron seems a popular recommendation but what does it taste like?
I've seen one web site call it strong and another says it is sweet!

There are other Red X varieties. Are they all derived from Red Baron?
Is there much difference between varieties? I see there is Red Cross,
Red Arrow, Red Ray, and Red Fen. Are they all much the same? Is it a
case of different catalogues selling different names to look
exclusive?

Thanks,
Stephen.
