Hey all: last year we grew and stored onions OK but lost a lot of them due to rott while hanging. this year the RED onions seem to be already rotting even before drying off from pulling them? We/I put them into the garden shed which has a floor and windows. it gets warm in daytime and stops most moisture from getting to them and last year seemed to work well. This year the reds are much softer and wetter than they were last year. I ran a fan last year for a few weeks but that seems to be a loss for $ by running the fan 24/7. the yellow / white ones seem to be doing fine with less than 5% loss at this point where the reds as probably a 50+% loss. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
anyone have a better way to store them? also I bring them into house prior to freezing and hang them from the stem just as I do in the garden shed. 4~6 smaller ones hung in a bunch and 3~4 bigger ones ok thanks for any advice...
