RE: Spring onions Posted 818 days ago They do have a milder taste than their bigger cousins, or maybe you jumped the gun a little. They are relatively slow growing. |

RE: Spring onions Posted 809 days ago I heard that onion picks up stronger taste if we sprinkle tiny bit of salt around where onion species are grown. |

RE: Spring onions Posted 806 days ago I haven't heard of that, and it may well be true. HOWEVER, introducing Chlorine in such a readily available form is most definately a good way to "kill the soil for ever more". (paraphrasing an old Roman general, there , who actually did that in reprisal against some mob who strongly objected to him invading them, so they give him a right hiding. Unfortunately for them, he came back a few years later, and won.) There's much better ways to get Sodium into the system. |

RE: Spring onions Posted 805 days ago Land inundated by tsunami seems to have sprung to life quite quickly. There is always rain to flush away excess too; after all it is highly soluble. |
