I have saved about 20 shallots from last year's harvest. I want to use them as sets this year - is there any reason I should not do this and do I have to do anything to them before planting?

I have done the same as you for the last two years without any problem, I move the onions/shallots around the plot every year so you dont get a build up of nasties, the only other thing to recomend is to save your best shallots for planting and eat the rubbish not the other way round. -
I've got about 2Kg saved from last year plus some I bought from Tesco's when they were cheap! Should be an interesting trial to see if it was worth it!
