Since the onion had a short stem in this video it didn't have enough time to discolor the center section of the onion yet. People have ask me many times what to do when their onions and leeks go to seed. This short video should graphically show the answer. We have weeded the onions and leeks in our garden and will let the weeds compost down which will kill all of the weed seeds and be used again to improve the soil we grow vegetables and plants in. A metal trash can because of the higher heat will compost down this material faster than a plastic trash can or container.
