Cultivating your own onions at home can be a fun and rewarding activity. With just a few small plastic bottles, you can get incredible results. Here is how to proceed:
Materials required:
- Empty and clean plastic bottles
- Onions
- Planting land or substrate
- Scissors or cutters
- Water
Steps to follow:
1. Preparation of cylinders: Start by cutting the top of plastic bottles to create plantation pots. Make sure the bottles are clean before using them.
2. Filling of cylinders: Fill the bottles with soil or suitable planting substrate. Make sure you leave enough space at the top to plant the onions.
3. Onion planting: Insert the onion bulbs into the soil, taking care to allow a portion of the bulb to pass to the surface. You can plant several onions in one bottle, making sure they are properly spaced.
4. Watering: Water regularly the onions planted in the bottles. Make sure the soil remains still slightly moist, but avoid excess water that could rot the roots.
5. Maintenance: Place the bottles in a sunny place where the onions can enjoy natural light. Be sure to monitor soil moisture and eliminate possible weeds.
6. Harvest: Onions grown in plastic bottles will be ready to be harvested when leaves begin to fade and dry. You can then easily remove them by pulling on the leaves.
By following these simple steps, you can grow your own onions efficiently and get amazing results. This method is not only practical, but also ecological, by reusing plastic bottles to create plantation containers.
