How to regrow green onions from scraps in water vs. soil

Green onions are one of the many vegetables that you can easily regrow at home. Imagine, never having to buy green onions again!


To regrow the green onions you simple place the white root end into water. I decided to do an experiment to see if green onions would grow better when placed in water (which seems to be more common) or soil. Over the week I watched as the green onions grew.

The green onions that were placed in water also started to regrow their roots and got bigger daily. When placed side by side it looks like the green onions grew larger and healthier.

Regrowing green onions from scraps that you would have otherwise thrown away is a fun easy home garden project. Place the green onions in a window seal and grow. Use when your culinary cravings see fit. When done just place the green onions back in the water and remember to change the water every few days.

Happy Gardening!

Plus, remember, we are in this together. So that means post video responses of where you are in the process. I would love see other peoples gardening space and watch them develop.
