I beleive I did post a link to the Earth boxes. I was hoping someone here had used them. We plan to make a couple to try out this year because I have read amazing reports on the internet about tomatoes grown in them.
Tell me more about planting your sprouted onions. I have planted a sprouted sweet potato and gotten a few other potatoes from it. I never thought of doing it with onions.
The big onions can go in big pots or the ground, just enough to cover the shoulders of them.
And they will root and divide into 4 large onions that grow and set seeds.
I take my scissors and cut off a leaf or two from several if I have them and they will keep putting out more leaves.
Then wash, chop and add to or use for garnish, but I use them in tuna salad and green salads, on beans, etc.
Onions are good for you and I like them.
I will be interested in your earth pots, they should work and I have a couple tubs that are too old for storage and one that I had tiny kittens in, so don’t store in it.
I can grow the sprouted sweet potatoes for house plants, but they will not grow here, too hot.
In San Diego, we had a patch of them.
During WW2, we got running water in the house and a sink, it just drained out on the ground and watered the biggest patch of sweet potatoes, you ever saw.
When mom wanted them, I went out and dug up the right amount and made sure the soil was firmed back down and that the next time I moved over a little and so it went around the patch and it kept growing.
LOL, someone would complain today about us using ‘grey water’ that had not been filtered and that would be the end of it.
As I recall, we grew them that way for years.
The ‘Sandhill Preservation Center’ link in post 107, did have a variety of sweet potatoes, I did not check this year.
