Planting Onions

Got my onion plants and instructions from Dixondale Farms. It seems to me 1" deep seems too shallow in that when the bulb expands won't it be above ground? Some of the bulbs are almost 1 inch. Also it recommends using a 10-20-10 mixture for fertilizer. Cant find that anywhere. I have used Pennington 10-12-10 tomato food with excellent results for all my vegetables now for over 15 years. Works even better than the stuff that costs three times as much. How can I use this and increase the 12 to 20 as per the instructions? Or are the instructions Dixondale brainwash to try to get you to buy their fertilizer? By the way, their prices on one bunch are not very good but on two or more they are excellent!

Thanks for any anticipated help
