About the challenge

Cut a plastic bottle to form growing spaces for the onions and set up a veg garden on your window sill.
Description
[edit | edit source]Wouldn’t it be convenient to always have fresh onions on hand for cooking and salads?
Sometimes the last thing you want to do is make a run to the local market. Besides, you can never tell how old the onions at the grocery store are. Now you can grow onions indoors easily with this clever vertical growing method. Just cut off what you need for a meal and the onion will grow back with more. For complete instructions on how to grow onions vertically visit the link.
