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 showing signs of
rotting.
FLOWER SHOW - AUGUST.
These are just a
few of the many superb entries.
