I saw a tip for a indoor garden idea that I really thought was great. If you use green onions in salads, meals, served with Thanksgiving dinner, and so on ....you will really want to check this out.
The details on how to do this weren't there so I will be typing what I read through the lines :) Take a box of some sort, I am thinking like a shoe box or something even more shallow and line it with a barrier such as plastic shopping bag. I suppose I will be double or tripling up my bags just to be safe from any leaks. Then fill the box with some good soil, not all the way to the top but maybe half way or a tad more. Then buy some onions at the grocery store like you normally would, cut the end off that has the roots and lightly plant the root end and cover with dirt. Do not bury deep maybe just enough to barely cover the top of the cut end with dirt. Make sure you plant root down :)
Now! Here is what is so cool! Each time you pull some fully grown out to use in a recipe, you cut the end off and replant it! It is an endless supply of green onions replenishing itself. Awesome huh? I will try to post some pictures of mine once I get it started.
Enjoy!
