Grow green onions from onion sets ($2 for 80) at Home Depot

Onions

There are hundreds of types of onions, varying in size and form, as well as sweetness/pungency. They are essential ingredients in cuisines across the globe.

Onions are a cool-weather crop. Because they have require a relatively long growing season, they are usually started from sets, which are simply small onion bulbs. However, the selection of onion varieties available as sets is often limited, so if you want to try unusual varieties you'll have to start them indoors from seed. In general, the stronger-flavored onions keep longer, while mild, sweet varieties are more perishable.

Plant your sets early in the spring -- onions do best if the temperature is cool when they start to grow, and warm as they mature.

Grow green onions from onion sets

One easy way to grow green onions is to buy onion sets ($2 for 80 bulbs) at Home Depot. The available onion varieties are yellow, red and white. All cost $2 for 80 bulbs.

You can grow the green onions indoors using the triple "L" concept ("Lettuce Lights up Living room"):

- 70W, daylight CFC bulb
- organic fertilizer

How to build a raised garden bed with pavers

You can use a variety of materials to construct raised beds. Most beds are made of wood.

However, pavers make great edging material that lasts virtually forever, and this works great when edging up to a concrete path. A simple paver costs between 40 cents and $2 at Home Depot(depending on size). You will need about 30-60 pavers (depending on size) to build one raised garden bed. Here is a good example of such inexpensive paver: Pavestone Holland 4 in. x 8 in. Concrete Paver, 39 cents http://goo.gl/F2OEF

To get good alignment, get some chalk and draw a line across them to indicate how far you bury one end into the ground. You can also put a wooden stake at each end, and stretch a piece of string across the top at the right height to get the tops level if the ground is uneven and can’t be used as a reference. You can hang a small builders line level on the string to make sure your string sits level if you have one.
