Have you harvested your onions and put them into storage?
But are you worried that the harvest may spoil long before the end of the frost period?
Cast aside your doubts! After all, following a few simple rules will guarantee the preservation of the vegetable.
Numerous bulbs will definitely not start to rot in winter. In addition, they will retain all their taste qualities.
Cooling and drying
Before storing the bulbs, they need to be cooled. This should be done while still in the garden.
Next, you need to dry the vegetables.
Using straw or sand
Contrary to popular belief, onions do not necessarily need to be stored in special boxes.
You can simply pour the bulbs into a pile.
But before that, you need to put straw or pour sand. Any of these materials will help get rid of excess moisture.
Compliance with storage conditions
So, the issue with humidity, the level of which should not be high, is resolved.
But we must also remember the importance of observing other storage conditions for onions.
The room where the vegetables are kept should be not only dry, but also cool. Temperature fluctuations are unacceptable.
In addition, ventilation must be provided. If the air in the room does not circulate properly, the stored bulbs will quickly become unfit for consumption.
