green onions

17 years ago

You can tell by my question that I am not a gardener. I would like to do container gardening. Is it alright to put multiplying "green onion bulbs" in a pot of Miracle Grow plant potting soil? If so, how deep do I plant them? Any help would be appreciated.

I am sure that potting soil would be fine for green onions. Plant just the bulb under the soil line. If there is no bulbous portion, plant about 1.5 inches deep.
