Of course those approved types are just trade marked names of the onion/seed producer. ... So a sweet yellow Grandex (short day) type is what you need.

Yeah, I watched a ton of videos on what makes Vidalia onions what they are. The sandy loam, but most importantly is the lack of sulfur. They did mention the yellow onions. So I just need to figure out how to get a sandy soil with lots of nutrient without adding any sulfur to the mix. I'm thinking mostly sand, with some compost added in, and calcium. Your thoughts?
