Another growing food from scraps post.

While I am quite serious about regrowing food from scraps and finding other way to secure food, I’m finding there may be a bit more of a learning curve than I first thought.

While I have a container with green onions that are doing rather well and a pineapple that is also growing great most everything else has not made it. The exception is an onion.

I decided to see how little of the onion I could cut off and still get it to at least try to regrow. I trimmed off the root taking just enough of the onion to keep it together.

It sat for what seemed like forever and looked to have died and dried up. I finally figured I may as well try another. But when I grabbed ahold of it, it barely moved.

There were roots growing and so I just covered up the exposed part. A few days later the greens broke through and it’s forming a new bulb.

I was so stoked I tried doing another the same way but it failed. I’m not sure what to make of the mixed results. In any event I recommend at least giving it a go.

If it works out you’ll be getting free food, if not it can still go into the compost pile.

Best of luck and may your ventures be met with success!
