I decided to try to make a little garden this year, i have carrots, beats, scallions, tomatos, cilantro and beans growing.

as of last week, my scallions (some call them onions, mini onions, or 파) started to die. now, all of my scallions are dying, but only the scallions. i tried to water them more, i gave them vitamin B... what else can I do?

Does anyone know a reason why they would start dying all of a sudden? like maybe the yellow dust will kill them (but not the others)?

thanks...

I share your pain. I ask myself the same questions everyday. Why are we all dying, why is this world such a terrible place, why must all life, living cells, animals, friends, neighbors, grandpas and grandmas, why must everything be turned into dust, does anyone have a reason, please, please.....please answer our posts, give us an answer to this miserable state we are in........................................................................interlude....songs of love......hello darkness my old friend.......................like a bridge over troubled waters.................here comes the clowns.....





..well...time to go outside and buy a dong casseh and a cass beer, later

A few questions: do you think they are getting eaten by bugs? Are there other plants in the same pot? Maybe the roots need more room to grow.

Are they turning brown and just shriveling up and dying?

scallions aren't that domesticated - they still grow in the wild in many areas.

perhaps you over watered them - if they turned grey it sure sounds like rot which happens from too much water.

to check, dig up a dead one and see how damp the root is, and look and see if the root was long or packed up short - to see if it had enough space - they really do need a lot of depth.

also you may not have had enough drainage - the soil might have been too tightly packed. add some gravel at the bottom

Also, make sure you have enough soil in the pot. I have made mistakes in the past by not putting enough soil into the pot and the plants/herbs died

How big/old are they?

I was having some problems with damping off with my seedlings, it can spread to different pots through the air since it is cuased by a kind of mould. If they are quite small and have just basically fallen over this could be the problem. After some reasearch I sprinkled some cinnamon on the soil and the problem seems to have stopped.

If they are bigger then it could be a lot of differet things, so a search on specifically what scallions need to thrive and make suer you are giving them what they need.

I believe people just use liquid drops into the soil...
