    I have a friend who has made a rack from a fence, I think you call it a field fence. He takes the onions and feeds the green stalk through the holes and allows the onion to dry upside down so the green stalk is hanging to dry. I hope that made sense. If not I will explain it further. Brilliant and it frees up space.
