Planting Green Onions Step-by-Step
Here's how to plant green onions effectively:
- Prepare the Green Onions: If your green onion stalks are very long, consider trimming the tops to make them easier to handle during planting.
- Create Planting Holes: Dig small holes in the soil, ensuring they are large enough to accommodate the roots of the green onion.
- Place the Stalks:
- Gently insert one green onion stalk into a hole.
- Pack the soil around the stalk to secure it.
- Repeat this process with the remaining stalks.
- Spacing: Make sure to leave about an inch (2.5 cm) of space between each stalk. This will give the roots enough room to grow and thrive.
