To grow onions on your windowsill, you need a 5 liter PBS bottle, scissors, onion sprouts, and soil. The 5 liter bottle is "a practical, space-saving and green" vessel to grow onions.
The simple hack consists of preparing the planting vessel (aka the 5 liter bottle) by cutting holes into it and then filling the bottle with layers of onion sprouts and soil. Water your newly planted onion sprouts and set the planter on your windowsill.
