    Don't feel disappointed, you've done a remarkable thing here. All that comes from this, is a learning opportunity. Next year you'll so better then this year, then after that you'll be at your best with growning giant onions. Then you'll get bored and do something else. I think this was great. You should see the tiny onions I'm growing😂🤣🤣.

    Those giant onions are impressive, regardless of the weight, Mark ! Too bad the weight wasn't upto your expectations. Perhaps, for your next batch, you could try a change in medium for 1 or 2 pots. I am aware of some people growing their bonsai trees in bonsai substrate in an air-pot. I think that since the bonsai substrate (inorganic medium) has better drainage and aeration than the medium you have used, it might give you a better result. It might need more watering too. Maybe you could get in touch with some bonsai club, talk to some experts and see what comes off it. I think that the bonsai substrate many prefer is a mix of 1 part akadama (japanese volcanic soil), 1 part pumice & 1 part lava rock.

      In UK, there is Graham Potter of Kaizen Bonsai and Mark of Ma-Ke Bonsai, who have lot of experience with bonsai & substrates and could be good resources for you.
