I had an idea several months ago to do experiments: planting them inside and outside. I wanted to see the differences between growing inside and outside with different purposes. For inside: I planted them in the water (hydroponic system) and harvested the green leaves twice. For outside: I planted them in the containers/plastic pots using pot soil as their media. I wanted to see their flowers growing and would harvest the real onions (bulbs).
 |
| The first day after planting (Hydroponic). Media: water. I changed the water at least once a week. Everyday the old and new leaves grew 1 cm. This small plastic glass contains 3 green onions. |
 |
| Growing after 2 weeks. Location to grow: Near window with full of sunshine. Time to harvest. |
 |
| This plastic container contains 6 green onions. Every time I harvest, I have saved $1.18 as like buying them in one plastic back. To harvest: I cut the green leaves and let the bulbs growing again one more time. By harvesting twice, I have saved $2.36 as like buying them in two plastic bags. |
 |
| In the second harvest I used all the parts of the green onions (leaves and bulbs) and only left two bulbs. I did another experiment by planting them in the plastic pots using pot soil as their media. |
