tips on tying and hanging onions

Once I had written about it I rushed off to try Richard Loaders tip for tying up Onions up to dry.

I didn't get this first attempt too tightly packed but I managed another two strings afterwards where I graded the onions starting with the larger ones at the bottom and smaller ones at the top.

Just one small observation - I don't want to sound like the instant expert here - I would leave the stalks a little longer to make it easy to manipulate and then trim the excess off afterwards.

Richards method is simple, quick and very very therapeutic.

Update: I have since found this site for stringing onions that has Richards method explained with some good graphics.

I also note that the author recommends alternating the onions so that they are threaded on opposing sides (I have no idea if this is truly necessary but worth the thought)
