No garden needed, the simplest method to grow onions for beginners

If you’re a garden beginner and you don’t have a garden, don’t worry! You can always grow onions at home in a simple and efficient way. Onions are easy to grow plants, and they do not require much space to thrive. In this article we will guide you step by step on the simplest method of growing onions, even without a garden.

Materials required:

• Onion bulbs
• A shallow container (like a plastic container)
• Land or soil
• Water

Steps to follow:

1. Choose your onion bulbs: You can buy onion bulbs at any gardening store or supermarket. Make sure you choose firm, healthy bulbs.

2. Prepare your container: Fill your shallow container with soil or soil up to about 2-3 cm from the edge.

3. Plant the onion bulbs: Make a small hole in the earth with your finger and place an onion bulb in it. Make sure the bulb is buried about 1-2 cm deep.

4. Water regularly: Water your onion bulbs regularly to keep the soil moist. Onions need well drained soil, so make sure your container has drainage holes at the bottom.

5. Place your container in the sun: Onions need a lot of light to grow. Place your container in a sunny place, like a window edge or a sunny balcony.

6. Optional fertilizers: If you wish, you can add a balanced fertilizer once your onions start growing to help them grow more.

7. Harvest your onions: The onions are ready to be harvested when the leaves begin to yellow and dry. Remove the onions from the soil carefully and allow them to dry in the open air for a few days.

With these simple steps, you can grow your own onions even without a garden. Don’t forget to use them in your recipes to enjoy their fresh and delicious flavor!
