Growing green onions in a bag is a super way to harvest in winter. Landing requires a minimum of materials and effort. On how to plant bulbs on greens without land and how to care for them, read below.

Features of growing green onions without land
Three things are needed to distill an onion feather: a container, a moist substrate, and an onion. It is customary to use boxes or boxes as containers. In apartment conditions this is not always convenient - containers often take up a lot of space. A plastic bag is a compact replacement for bulky boxes. It retains the substrate and maintains the required moisture level. For growing onions, a soil mixture is often used. This is a standard type of substrate, but not the only possible one.With this method of growing, vegetable growers most often use sawdust. This material retains moisture, which provides the necessary conditions for the growth of a green feather. Any bulbs are suitable for forcing in a bag. The requirements for the material are the same as with other methods of planting: they must be intact, intact and not have obvious signs of illness in the form of plaque and rot.
Did you know? Onions in traditional medicine are used to increase immunity and strengthen the body.
Onion growing conditions

To expel greens, prepare the necessary materials. Landing should be carried out according to the technology indicated below.
Preparing bulbs for planting
Before planting, vegetable growers prepare planting material, sawdust and a bag. Select onions with a diameter of 2.5-3.5 cm. It is desirable that the variety belong to early ripening.
Prepare the vegetables as follows:
- Remove the outer layer of the husk.

Important! Do not reuse sawdust.
Before use, sawdust should be disinfected and soaked - for this, pour the substrate with boiling water. After some time, the sawdust will absorb moisture. When they cool, remove excess water. Any plastic bag is suitable for growing.
