How simple it would be if every time you needed a fresh onion for cooking, you could simply harvest one from this easy to setup DIY system, and then grow another in it’s place?
Well now you can with this very simple technique to grow onions right inside your own kitchen (yes, you don’t even need a garden). You can get this system up and running in just 5 minutes with a few simple everyday items…
What You’ll Need:
– scissors
– onion bulbs
– soil or potting mix
– water
Directions:
Use the scissors to cut off the neck of the bottle, and then cut holes in the side. Do this in rows around the bottle and work your way up as shown in the image. Be careful with the size of the holes, they need to be big enough for the onion bulbs to come through as the system grows.
Fill the whole bottle with a rich soil (or potting mix) and push the onion bulbs inside the holes you’ve just made, with the end outside the hole. Water the soil and then put the bottle in front of a window to get sunlight. Water on a regular basis but only if needed & the soil starts to dry out (the condensation from the sunlight and the bottle should be enough to keep the soil moist enough).
When the onions mature, harvest as needed, and simply insert a new bulb into the vacant hole to grow a new onion. If required, top up the replacement bulb with a little additional soil to hold the new bulb in place. Then kick back and enjoy endless fresh onions on tap…
