Adaptive Tip Sight awareness - Using a dark coloured tray, tabletop or workbench when potting up your onions and other plants? Use a light coloured pvc table cloth, sheet of paper or plastic (cut from a plastic bag) to create a contrast , in order that the compost can be more easily seen. Or add some Perlite to your compost to make it more visible https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/what-is-perlite/ .
