Cluster planting onions

Hi all, 

I've read online about transplanting onions in clusters of x4 just wondering if anyone had any experience of doing this and how good the yield was

Thank you

Matt

    Onion seed is fine so some people find it easier to sprinkle  a few seeds in stations on a seed tray or in plug trays.  Once the roots form and are big enough to go out you just plant the whole cluster without trying to separate them.    As the onions grow they push themselves apart.  Might be a bit smaller than individual sets but still healthy, tasty onions.
