In Ukraine, onions are grown not only in summer cottages or gardens, but also on balconies. This plant is a popular ingredient and is used in many dishes.

However, despite its ease of cultivation, onions need some watering to ensure rapid growth and protect the crop from rotting. Experienced gardeners have their own tips on what exactly to water this plant with.
