This season I grew and stored 5 “legs” of onions the first week of September. I used the last of them the first week of January. That means I used only home-grown onions for 4 months!
The method of tying them in nylon stockings really worked–only about 2 sprouted and 2 went bad. But those were not able to infect the other onions, so I feel like I maximized my harvest.
Love this idea!!!! Thanks for sharing!
just found your site and ty for the info.
i have 6 raised beds and am very disorganized regarding growing. so am looking into any and all tidbits!
ty!
I love this idea! I am going to try it if my onions do that well!
THAT is a great idea!!! Have you tried other things? We have a bunch of citrus right now…. lemons and oranges… wonder if they would work in a “leg” too?
