I grew onions from seed last year and had no problem at all and got a good crop. I have been looking at onion sets and find the biggest drawback is that they all contain 40-50 sets. This is far too many for my small veg plot and if I don't use all of them it pushes the price per onion up. At least with seeds I can sow as few or as many as I like and they still work out cheaper.
In Geoff Hamilton's Ornamental Kitchen Garden he suggested not thinning out your onion seedlings but letting them push each other apart once in the ground. Has anyone tried this method?

Well, so far my sets are outdoing my seeds, but I'm hoping that I get the same result as billm!!
