storing onions in a net??

hi all, i have an abundance of onions and bought dome onion nets... Dont really know what to do with them or where to store. Any advice

You also need to check and remove any which start rotting in storage or you'll lose the whole lot. I find it more practical to string them up the traditional way as it's easier to keep an eye on them and remove dodgy ones. I tried a net once for my shallots and it ended up a sticky mess when one in the middle rotted and then spread to others and then some started sprouting roots into the dampness.

I scrounge onion bags from the greengrocer.   :happy:   Ditto potato bags.   :happy:   Cheers,    Tony.

I managed to find short wooden fruit crates at the grocer's. They're open slatted at the bottom for air, handles on the sides for stacking and lots of air movement.

I space the onions only one layer deep in these crates otherwise they'll heat up quickly and start to rot.
