By trimming the leaves there is now less photosynthesis going on and less nutrients going to the fruit, I presume. Onions naturally push themselves out of the ground as they mature. Towards autumn they will be pushed out even more as they dry. There is no need to add more dirt. I'm curious how your harvest will be now that the leaves are trimmed. Do write back and let us know!
