5 x strong woven polypropylene onion nets are supplied. Each net is approx 52cm x 85cm and has a pull tie top, so it can be hung up if required. Onion nets are ideal for the storage of onions, shallots, garlic and other root vegetables and the nets will last for years. Please note the onion nets are not suitable for the storage of potatoes, they should be stored in hessian sacks.
Onion Harvesting & Storing Tips:
1.Harvest onions when the tops have flopped over and gone brown in the summer.
2.Lift out crop and leave onions to dry for approx 1-2 weeks or inside on a sunny windowsill.
3.To clean onions rub off bits of dired skin and remove stems.
4.Discard any onions that are damaged or diseased.
5.Store dry onions in nets in a cool, dry ventilated place away from direct sunlight or frost.
6.Never store onions near potatoes, which give off moisture and gas that spoil the onions.
7.Stronger flavoured onions last longer in storage than sweet onions.
Please note these nets are currently available in the colour red
