    Green onions in egg trays

    I sprout onions at home in the usual way - I put onions in glasses and jars. And on the Internet I spied another way of distillation. I tried it - I liked it very much! No dirt and space takes a minimum.

    The lid was separated from the dense egg tray. At the bottom with recesses cut bottoms. I poured water into the lid, put the skewers across. They put the second part of the tray with holes on them, into which they dropped the peeled and peeled onions. Placed everything on the windowsill. A few days later, the roots started up, and two weeks later the first green feathers appeared.
    As necessary, add water to the tray, and when the bulb ceased to bear fruit, change it to fresh. True, over time, I began to notice small brown midges next to the onion ...

      Take a look at the insects that wound up in your apartment. It is possible that these are tobacco (onion) thrips. Small dark brown insects leave yellow-white spots on the onion feathers. Hiding in the bulbs themselves, but you can observe them from the outside. Over time, the surface of thrips-damaged bulbs becomes sticky, wrinkled, with bright silver spots. To avoid the spread of pests, keep the bulbs in hot (+10 deg.) Water before distillation. Then dip in cold until completely cooled. After that, send for distillation in any way convenient for you.
