Just a note : I always put my scraps and off cuts into the compost heap and i found big spring onions growing all over the place turns out my spring onion off cuts grew another spring onion. I tried planting the off cuts of of some shop brought onions and now i have an endless supply and just cut them 50mm above the ground.
