How to Plait onions for storing
 
 
 
First tie a length of twine about 1 metre long into a loop and hang it somewhere strong enough to take the weight of at least 10lbs of onions. John put a strong nail in the doorway of the shed for me.
In a figure of 8, loop a large onion on the bottom.
Continue to add more onions in this way until you have a good string. Trim excess.
Only store onions that have thin necks. Check them regularly for any that show any signs of rotting.
The Plot in early November
