    does anybody know how to plait onions for storage purposes i've been told this is the best way to allow the air to circulate round them

      I did this last year using string.Basically use a piece of sring as one of the plaits along with the dried tops.

          Dead simple! I just hang up a single string and tie the first onion to the bottom. From then on as you add an onion just wrap the dried out stem once around the string and keep it so the weight of the onion is on top of the stem. Keep adding until you have the length of stringed onions you want!

          Clear as mud I suspect!

            sounds fascinating, so an old pair of fishnets won't work then?

              Spose so, but the only pair I've got I like to keep for best!
