Well after 3 attempts at starting green onions in the house I gave up. I bought seed tape and stuck it in the ground it seems that was the answer to my green onion problem
@@Bev437Sqn congrats on solving it Bev!!
So, how did your onion experiment turn out? I'm thinking, and I may be wrong, that the success depends upon what kind of onion bottom you have and what growing zone you are in. Short Day, Long Day or Neutral.
PART 4 ???!! 😊😊
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Hello, where is part 4 and 5 please? Did it not work out? Have a beautiful day/springtime! 🤗
The people have spoken: WE WANT PT 4
I guess it didn’t work out?
We must know!!
Any updates?
I just discovered this "5" part series a few minutes ago and was hoping to watch all 5 parts. I was hopeful that this might actually work as onions are biennial and I would have expected the onions to grow well depending on when started but to bolt rather quickly. I was thinking that it you might actually get a bulb before the flower stem formed, but my bet is that all you get is the new roots some leaves and the flower stem and no bulb the second year. This is based on my experience with one carrot that came back the 2nd year in my zone 4 garden - carrot grew well for a short part of the season but bolted as soon as the plant got enough size. Original carrot was a rotten mess at that point - no new carrot formed.
@@edconrad8976 Carrots are good for your eyes
I love regrowing stuff. In my garden right now I've got green onions, shallots, potatoes, celery, garlic and ginger which all came from my pantry or fridge. 😊
So awesome man, you're killing it! Great to hear.
Well, there you go again. Trying to squeeze food from food. Helping gardeners be successful at growing their own, saving a ton of money, and reaping the satisfaction of being successful. I commend you! Another helping please!
Agree with you he is great gardener , happy gardening and have a nice day to you
Thanks so much Jim!! Hope the weekend treats you well! :-)
@@GardenIdeas01 Cheers you guys! :-)
So happy I found your channel!!! thank you so much for the tips!! I got frustrated after a week of not seeing any roots, but ended up planting it in my soil pot just in case… I checked again today and saw 5 little sprouts coming up! 😁
That's so awesome! I love it when they surprise you like that!! :-)
Have you put up part 4 yet? I can’t seem to find it. As always, great video. Very helpful
Been following from 1st videos found this so amazing thk u can't wait for next one amazing to how u get seeds very informative n easy to follow so grateful 👍🏻😁😁😁💥💥💥
I just started trying to regrow an onion from an onion and your video has been a great watch! I'll ya posted how it goes!
Best of luck Jaycie!
Great I love to train through your teaching .
Thanks Malachai!
Very nice method to grow onion from cutting , i learn from you after watching your garden video , thanks so much
Awesome, thanks for watching guys! :-)
Works great with green onions too. Have been doing this for a long time. LOVE IT!!
Green Onions.... So amazing. I will literally never have to buy another one!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms let me tempt you with the Egyptian Walking Onion. Once you grow that that you can truly say that you will never need to grow either green onion or bulbs ever since they give you both!
@@GreenLove1 so awesome!! People don't grow enough of those!
Alfalfa tablets is such an amazing idea! Thank you!
My nearly rotten red onion bottoms sprouted quickly in water. Right now I have a couple of rooted bottoms in a planter outside. They are growing several new plants, but are still at the very new stage. I was trying to figure out how and when to separate them, so thank you for this video!
Interested in your 401st attempt ;-). I have tried this a few times myself and at best have been able to get an oval shape that is bigger than a scallion but nowhere close to the big bulb of the original onion. I usually just bury and forget, and harvest greens whenever I need them. They eventually go to seed which I do like to collect because onion seeds have such a short life.
There you go from one onion to a ton of bulbs, over seeds. 😉🤗
I apply a drizzle of raw honey to the water when placing the discs. Sometimes a light coating to the surface of the cut site.
I prop them up by placing toothpicks (3/4) into the root-side of the disc, penetrating the fleshy old bulb and avoiding the new shoots, place in a 2-3" food safe dish, and change water as needed OR top up as needed with a tiny drizzle of honey in the water every-so-many top ups.
When transplanting, I peel/rip off the old bulb flesh
Good job friends
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
Great job
Cheers Haze!
I just plant those pieces at the end that we usually toss in the trash into soil. And I literally get both green onions and onion bulbs. It's amazing.
So awesome....and such a great way to not be wasteful! :-)
How much are u talking about, 1/4 the way like how he does it or less?
@@JesusMoreno-jq8ys I'm a very cheap person. I don't create extra waste for gardening.
That small lil sliver that I slice off at the end before slicing the onion 🌰
Don't overrun overthink it. Just cut your onion as usual.
@@SpiceyKy damn, that's cool. Thanks
So I did that and they coming out perfect...proud of myself
Wow. Finally I understand!!!
This is a good experiment..and doing well
Ha ha it is.... My ongoing 2 year experiment now!
Where're 4 and 5?
I've come across six (6) new shoots from a single 'disc'.
When transplanting to the garden beds, I make a well for the roots, wet the substrate (seaweed solution is ok), position the discs, gently firm the substrate around the roots, cover with generous layer of sugarcane mulch (stem mulch over smaller particle type mulch), and then generously water.
Sit back and wait
right about the Nitrogen. I never thought about the bulb being part of the stem. I've always looked at them as part of the root.
Totally....same with Garlic. Its just a swollen part of the stem..not a flowering structure or root or anything other than modified leaves. Interesting eh? Cheers.
me, salivating when i recognize the walla walla i've eaten before. thanks for helping me get started growing my favorite veggie (i grow other stuff but alliums are new for me)
synth music sounded like mort garson's plantasia
thank you so much ❤
Cheers!
Yes. I did it like u did.
:-)
From what I have experienced, what you will get using this method is a new, bulbless plant that will go to seed and provide you with enough seeds to make lots more bulb onion plants that will have bulbs. In other words, there is a middle step, which is to keep growing that new bulbless plant all the way to seed.
Not true
@@RTG-FAMILY Yes true.
I just cut the bottom off and "plant" 1/2 " below soil lvl.
once "greens" are 6" tall... divide, REGARDLESS OF ROOTS OR ANY OTHER , just simply "divide" and plant.
yes you want to plant ASAP so thats why IDK whats going on.( as long as it has roots) .... just divide asap, and plant what is "ready".......
Yup, gotta do what works for you. Don't fix what isn't broken. :-)
I did this from an onion that was growing in my pantry. I separated the bulbs and planted them individually, about 6-8" apart and they're growing. I recently spooned them, but I was unaware that the bulb was part of the stem so I am expecting more growth now that they've been spooned.
Right on Kelly, let us know how it turns out! :-)
What does spooned mean? I’m trying this right now with onions
I do this constantly. Grow them everywhere!
So awesome.....love it! :-)
Hey, I am doing this now also. At first I tried to plant them directly in the soil, but they keep rotting. So I put them-on top of of a small bottle of water until they rooted. I noticed the water would start to get cloudy after three days, so I changed the water with fresh water. Voila! It’s working now. I didn’t know you could separate them and make individual onions.i though they would only make green tops. I found they are very sensitive to over watering.. I only give them a spray from a bottle in the morning and that’s it. When they get bigger I will try to separate them and grow individual plants. I am still skeptical if this will work, hey it’s worth a try. I also tried to take cuttings from a Basil plant and dipped them in Root tone and put them in a bottle of water. The stems all rotted. I only put the base in and still no luck. Do you have any suggestions on to do this successfully? Keep up the great work.
I'm doing the green onion grow. I started a celery base. It's just starting to resprout.
Hi!! Thank you so much for these videos! They've inspired me to try my hand at growing my own veggies, especially onions! Could you please tell me roughly how many onions you've had successfully grown out of the 400 store-bought onions? Thanks!
Great vid Jeff!
But please!
Stop whacking your nice knives on your ceramic plates ;)
I need to make you a cutting board LOL
Ha ha that's what the knife sharpener is for!!
I have started them in a potting soil in the kitchen window with son and kept them moist and they grew really well till I planted them in the ground then they stop growing I guess I planted them too deep according to your video cuz I did I covered everything
Nice asmr
You'll be amazed at what you can grow from scraps,I threw all my waste into a raised bed I have in my back yard and I couldn't believe what I found not only onions growing but a shank of beef. I don't know if my kids are messing with me but I found a large beef shank coming out of the ground and it had a hairy foot I guess you call a hoof ? Well let's see how it cools up with a few seasoning. I'll keep you posted
LOL!
Well, this is how we'll be spending date nite.
Ha ha could be worse! :-)
Trying.scallions (green onions); love the "Growing, Better" FB page. Thank you.
Right on Jane, thanks for all the support! :-)
Love your channel! Question: how much does the Alfalfa Pellets cost? Thanks
It really depends who you buy it from. It can vary from 15 to 20 bucks for 40 lbs of alfalfa pellets.
Uh oh, no part 4? How you're ok and that the onions are still developing 😁
I just left my whole onion intact sitting in water until the onion started splitting itself. Then I separated them. It had about 3 inches of roots
Part four please
I bet the worms love the alfalfa pellets, I think I'll try that on a new garden spot across town. I stuck a cut onion end from the trash into the garden soil kind of in under a shaded area under pole beans. The next year the onions flowered and I got seeds. I started this about 8 years ago now I have a lot of onions and seeds. Sometimes they get themselves started from seed in the fall they seem to do very well maybe even better than planting them in the spring. I can probably plant them in the late fall before the ground gets frozen solid but if I tried it too early in the fall they might flower instead of grow a big blub. Now I'm experimenting with planting my onions months ahead of the last frost because the onions that started themselves from seed in the late fall seem to do better. Onions seem to grow well in frozen soil I don't cover them they need sunlight.
The onions at the supermarket are bigger but I think onions grown in the garden taste three times better. It's kind of like the difference between supermarket tomatoes and garden tomatoes. That is why I do it.
It’s got to work some way or other because onions are biennial and they have to be kept alive until the next year so they can make seeds. The trouble with grocery store onions is you may not know whether you’ve got a short day or a long day variety and they have vastly different daylight length requirements to initiate bulbing.
Totally correct.... Grocery store produce can often be unpredictable in this way
Did u use manure or fertilizer during the nersury time before transplanting it?
Do u use alphalpha pelets for all types veggies thank u
What is the straw like stuff you used?
last mouth I've planted a onion and water in at 3pm it's has greens have came up! next month it will be 2 months
@@AngelicaGirton nice Angelica! Is it in soil yet?
will both sides of the same onion regrow or only one ?
How can I make the onion seedlings thick before planting
I wonder a few things
What happened to this series? Where is part 4 and 5?
Also I am growing sweet onion this way and somehow the shoots started to get feel weaker when they felt really strong when they were still in the pots and I wonder why this is happening and what I can do about it
Use some organic root enhancer in your water to start. Also I would go more for the 2nd number the 1sr number is nitrogen and that promotes vegetative growth witch is not good for growing onions.
I put shallots into a plastic bag into the fridge n it will grow roots after a few weeks. Then I plant them as green onions.
Perhaps I shd try with big onions. Once it grow roots, I can cut off the bottom n plant.
Awesome yen! Let us know how it goes!
God👍
:-)
Video 4 and 5?
When l have my onion in the window it have moss around it is it good or bad can l still plant it to get a harvest thanks
I'd remove any moss or mold before planting
Am I missing part 4 & 5?
I am having the hardest time germinating my onion seeds. I’ve tried starting them indoors and just straight in the ground outdoors, but it takes a very long time like a month or so for them to even start Germany. I live in Nampa Idaho do you have any tips for me
Moist, but not soggy, proper seeding soil, even tenps around 27C, and planted not too deep... Around 2-3cm
Part 4 please?
Hi. New gardener here from the uk. An onion here costs 10 pence, which converts to about 13 cents, i think. The materials needed to do this ie potting mix, alfafa pellets etc cost considerably more. I dont think its worth the time, cost and effort personally. It would seem to me that purchasing onion sets instead would be cheaper with gauranteed results. I love an experiment but this one seems to give poor results in most cases. I cant find video 4 either, so my guess is attempt 401 had failed. What do you guys think and can you give me some tips on growing from onion sets for bigger, stronger bulbs. Happy gardening everyboby.
"I need more time and testing.."
I'm still not convinced that an actual onion bulb can be produced this way, I would expect a second-year onion plant that will flower and produce seed. Perhaps the removal of the upper bulb resets it to year-one, but I haven't seen any proof yet. To this end I'm going to try it myself this year.
At present I grow mainly from bought onion sets, or sets that I've produced myself using onion seed
After 5 days, if there's no sign of growth, do I call it a fail?
I have no luck with onions at all. I tried to start Spanish onions from seed they didn't germinate tried it again still no germination. I tried green onions four times and got one onion. I don't think it was my potting mix because everything else I started came up amazingly well. A friend gave me onion sets they are now trying to go to seed in the garden. My leeks that I started from seeds are doing great.
Yeah, sets are known to do that because they are already entering their 2nd season when we plant them. If you can grow Leeks, you can grow Green Onions for sure!
I hope my recently uploaded "short" helps you to better understand what I mentioned before... (I know you won't remember, but "cut your onions layer by layer" MIGHT help.)
#CutOnionsLayerByLayer #CutOnionsTheWrongWay!
Check it out, (this is what my "inner bulbs" look like because I choose to cut them, layer by layer- as I need them.)
Tossing the rest back in the fridge..
UNTIL they reach the point on my video.
I JUST popped them into some dirt in my grow tent and I chopped the greens on top, to signify the growth they've accomplished while being in the dirt.
I hope this gives others a better understanding of how to go about #RegrowingOnionsTheRealWay (or the way that you've tried to show others too!)
Maybe we can do a comparison on them,
(That is of course, IF you want to give the way I do it a "shot".)
I'd love to see what progress YOU can make by trying this way, TOO!
Cool, I'll check it out!
My sprouts are growing super fast! The only thing is that they developed a green slime, it’s like a sprout was trying to grow and gave up and died lol
Any idea what this green goop is / why it happened??
Thanks
Hey Alicia...still in the water? Often, when they aren't moved into soil, that will happen. They can't live in water forever unfortunately.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms No, they’re actually in the soil and have been for a few days
Kindly provide the link to parts 4 and 5
Can't find the 4th and 5th videos!
I tried growing my own onions but I might have started at the wrong time. They are ready for dirt right now but way too cold to put them outdoors. What should I do?
Very late answer, you can put them seperate in small pots, and let them grow some more.
I just threw in a peeled red onion on the ground for the rat. Ground has little to no soil, it has some dust from when the volcano erupted, a lot of small stones and ant hill, its been raining a couple of days and i thought the onion would rot, rat didn't it eat, but it didn't. Surprisingly, it grew roots and greens. I saw it in a slanting position, roots are exposed but the end parts of some roots are a little buried on the ground. Pulled it, cut itbin half and put inside a pot, didn't know if that was right that is why I ended up here.
Hello Jeff, hope your weekend is going well. Question, where can I get alfalfa pellets or granules? Same as the straw can’t find without seeds 😔😔😔 thanks again for that great information video 🙏🏻👍👍
Hey Emy!! Alfalfa pellets are wherever they sell feed. Even the pellets for rabbits....if you can get the pure alfalfa will work!
Please tell me why my purple onion isn’t sprouting green shoots. I’ve checked and there is plenty of root growth. I might add that by coincidence I found this onion in a on a hot parking lot, (have no clue how it got there) and decided to try my hand at propagating it. It’s been 3+ weeks now. I started it in water then soil after roots developed. Oh, did I fail to mention IDK what the heck I’m doing. I’m a YT experimenter. I’m using organic potting soil and a very small amount of compost.
It's a RESCUE PLANT! There are so many videos about cute little rescue animals, mostly puppies, we've all seen them. This might not be quite as touching but still should have an audience. Personally I eat a good amount of onions, and that little cut root piece is very familiar. If they could turn into plants or seeds it seems worth the effort. Man, I must have thrown away a good pile of those in life....
I did this and I got green onion but no bulb and then it flowered.
I'm thinking, no new bulb. I do this and just harvest the greens as for green onions. Free green onions. Yes
I am always failing on onions every time and I don’t know why. Can you please tell me what’s the secret to grow onions? Soil mixture?? Fertilizer??? Etc
Are you talking regular onions from seeds or sets, or regrowing onions from cuttings?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms
Onions sets
@@francysgardening6913 while sets are the easiest to grow from, I don't find that they are the best. But if that's your preferred method, make sure you get the right variety for your area, space them 6 inches apart, don't plant them too deep, water immediately, and then weekly after that, don't fertilize until you see new growth, soil should be rich, well-drained, slightly acidic. Mulch well with straw and you should be good to go!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Maybe I watered too much because I used to water every day because the soil always looks dry on the top. So maybe that’s where the problem is.
Waar is nr 4&5? Ik kan ze niet vinden?
Hello. Where is part 4 & 5?
Can't we just really soak the plants and separate them for planting ? Wouldn't that save some roots from breaking ?
Sure, give it a try!
Did you make a part 4 and 5? I can not find them
Not yet Jamie. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you
At the beginning not so much water in the glass at first the roots just need to be above the water not in it.
Where is # 4?
So you never made parts 4 and 5. What ended up happening?
Haha mine failed but thank you
Dang, sorry to hear that Zian! :-(
Is it because my onion is small and red
No, I find the red/purple ones to be the most prolific actually. Strange!
Where is part 4 and 5?
Still in the works
I tried this and they died. Had one doing ok but it suddenly died too 😔😢
I think you cut it too low to the bottom and that's why you're having problems growing it. I left about an inch from the bottom of the onion scrap and mine grew fine.
“Chemical solution” what do you think your onions are, huh? Or going further, you?
Wait... disproportionately high Nitrogen? I know a free source that's roughly 11:1:2.5... 😆
Onion have always regrown, but never 100%. I'm just a guy who tosses them into the worm bin, like you're not suppose to. They sit in all that worm compost, and have a good chance of growing. Sometimes I just clip the green tops and eat them. Sometimes they flower and drop seed. Yeah. More onions. If allowed to, they grow into a bulb. But never a huge bulb. A smaller bulb. Edible. Free. I accept the fact that onions aren't grown from the scrap. Otherwise, commercial growers would be doing it.
To much work for a couple of onions in a bucket
Yeah it's back breaking work......
Fake
