Onions are easy to harvest - you just pluck them out of the ground, then let them dry in the sun for a week. You then cut the stem to about 1" and store them in some sort of netting.
I decided to make onion bags out of netting that I have lying around (because I am also a costumer). The netting is folded in half on the bolt.
I then cut out several strips of this, in slightly different sizes - 4", 5", and 6" wide.
I then sewed it all the way to the fold on both sides.
After that, I took it outside to the onions. After putting an onion in the bag (depending on size - the larger onions went in the 6" wide netting bags and the smaller ones in the 4", etc.), I then tied a bow with twine in the netting before adding the next onion. (I wore my Ravenclaw apron to keep my clothes tidy.) To use an onion, you untie the twine and let the onion drop out of the bag, then cut the mesh about an inch below the next twine.
These are all now hanging in my house. I tied these up two weeks ago, and so far, they're doing great!
