Wintry green onion, Welsh Onion. Bot.: Allium fistulosum L.
The method of stimulating onion growth with a table salt solution, repeatedly described in literature, is very interesting and accessible.
One gardener was fighting wireworms, which were damaging his Welsh onion. Once, he accidentally spilled pickle brine on the ground, which got on some earthworms. The salt made them writhe. This gave the gardener the idea that pests wouldn't like salt either. After that, he watered half of the onion bed with a salt solution. After 15 days, the onions in the watered part had grown 10 cm more than in the unwatered part.
And there was more to come. Growing onions this way, the farmer managed to grow bulbs the size of a half-liter jar, and the onion stems reached 90 cm. The solution concentration varied from 300 to 750 grams per 10 liters of water for watering 1.5-2 m². Watering was done every 15 days, followed by watering with clean water (2-3 buckets). Believe it or not. This can even be confirmed using beets as an example.
However, watering with a table salt solution should not be considered a pure fertilizing method; it is still necessary to fertilize the soil with organic and mineral fertilizers. Salt acts more as a growth stimulant and less as a mineral fertilizer.
Grow leeks and Welsh onions - these are vegetable crops of universal purpose: they are used as a standalone product, as a seasoning, preserved, dried, frozen, and simply for decorating the table and the garden plot.
