I've a problem this year as my onions have done too well. I planted extra as last year, we ran out about March time. They all grew big and have thicker necks than I would like. There is about 75kg of onion and I'd be sad if a lot goes rotten averaging about 2 to a lb.
I usually allow the tops to dry off, then tie up in bunches and hangup in an outhouse. A few usually rot but not too many.
This year though, I've tried drying them on shelving in a small greenhouse. The bulbs look ripe enough but the tops are still quite wet.
Does anyone cut the foliage right off, leave to dry and store in boxes? Would that work? All suggestions welcome.

They will be stored under cover outside until the first frosts, then moved to the shed.
