A couple of points with this...commenter John pointed out with the first video that SurvivalistBoards forgot to mention (and I vegged it off, too) to drill holes in the plastic tubs to allow excess water to seep out.
With this particular video, I'd like to point something out myself...you could replant green onions purchased from the store. Or, you could simply plant onion bulbs and cut the green tops... even in heavy clay soil, bad for the development of the bulb, the onion bulbs will green year after year, like a perenial. We have had the same bulbs for eight years, and onion greens every time the weather is cool.
Our only problem is that a sweet little chipmunk has discovered that onions are a great substitute when a late frost destroys any berries on the trees and bushes. He was nice enough to leave us some, but we're going to have to cover our onions with some chicken wire to keep him from stealing our bulbs in the future. I'm willing to share, but not that much.

I really like your little lesson in planting green onions. I've found spinach to be a little hard to germinate sometimes. I do well with Swiss chard. Seeds are nice and large, and you can cut it once it has grown and it will come back. It's good raw in saldscooked up like spinach.
