Onion storage caution from Iowa State horticulturist
Larry Grove warns gardeners not to leave onions in the garden after maturing or they will not store well. To cure onions, spread them in a warm well ventilated room or hang them in mesh sacks with air. Another method is to tie the tops and hang in bunches from a nail in the garage or shed.
