Since I began studying permaculture in 2004, I have been shifting more towards growing plants that are edible, medicinal, insectary, nitrogen fixing, native, or can be used to create natural dyes.

Six inches at the most. I have a theory that crops from the high Andes have tubers because that's how a plant survives the cold. Hence the potato. |

The bulbs from the tops can be planted and will grow new onions, which in turn will produce more bulbs at the top. So once you get started, you have a never ending supply of onions... ...see more |
