Well, I remember someone telling me a long time ago (in the 70's) that you could plant the end of the green onion with roots that you cut off and it will grow.

I never tried it, but I am trying something different. It may not work.

I took the end of an onion the Queen cut off of a green onion and gave me to put in the BSF Larva Harvester with other scraps. I took the end of the onion and quartered it into 4 pieces and planted all 4 pieces in my grow bed.

Does anybody think it will work, or did in kill it when I cut it up? :(

Depends on how long the bit is that you cut off: 12cm would work fine, but 1cm is, in my mind, very questionable. Quartering it would make it less likely, I think.

Note: this is all based on the fact that I've never seen one of our onion cut-offs grow.
