To Properly cure onions they need air to circulate all around the bulb (underside too). Put onions on a chicken wire fence on top of saw horses. Air needs to completely surround the onion.

@Jesuslovesyou8525 Год назад

Rotate

@joshuaatkinson5810 Год назад

This is your opinion. Everyone grows up in different regions and we deal with our produce the way that works for our climate and farm size. Ps….. you probably know a lot that you have read but I would assume your hands probably haven’t been that dirty.

@colleensimmons8152 Год назад

@@joshuaatkinson5810 I find your assumption as intelligent as you are. I know how to clean my hands after working. Thank you for your negative feedback.

@GrilledCheese_ObamaSandwich 4 месяца назад

Agreed. Also if your area is native to onion flies or thrips it's best to do this indoors, with proper air circulation it will take about a week but it's worth the integrity of the onions

@johnsheppard4428 Год назад

Moisture collects on the ground, the direct sunlight will cause the bulbs to start turning green which is not good for long term storage and those green tops are edible but are going to wilt in the sun.

@shellbellbutterfly Год назад

I was wondering why not chop off the green tops for fresh salads and other dishes. Then dehydrate, for dried herbs. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Jesuslovesyou8525 Год назад

Rotate

@dabidibup Год назад

I saw another Short where the guy built a curing rack. It was basically a table with spaced slats. Might save your onions from critters, and probably saves you from having to rotate them

@cthawk6770 Год назад

We used to do this on the homestead… we’d stretch fishing nets out between four trees with several layers, not letting them touch the ground. The curing happens a bit more effectively and efficiently.

@shorty1103 Год назад

Those tops are good to be chopped off for other dishes. We use the green scallion for rice and soups and other seasoning 🇯🇲

@DR-rw7es Год назад

This! My first thought was, what is he doing with those scallions!?!

@williamswindle5445 Год назад

Hahaha 🤣 just as sure as I got all of them lay out it would start raining. Never failed. 😂

@sixthsenseamelia4695 Год назад

Tie bunches of half a dozen onions together using the leaves and hang them in a cool dark airy place. Ie shed rafters.

@jdand3 Год назад

Travis, why don’t you have to worry about critters eating the onions while they are curing?

@1ntuthukozwane Год назад

Even if they catch some of them, we still gonna eat them because we waited 6 months for these babies to come out. But, if it is safe to do it, you can do that. I keep my peanuts next to my outside sink and no birds or critters attack them and I can keep them up to 4 months at home once they have been frying for 3 weeks. I live in a very humid and hot area.

@wagner9050 Год назад

Bcuz a .22 w/ LASER is in his gunhand.

@JJ-kf4qd Год назад

@CraneofBoulogne Год назад

Another way to keep your onions is to leave them in the ground until you use them. I just pulled the last thirty or so onions that i had planted early last November. It is now the first week of September and those onions are perfectly preserved. That last batch is currently drying on the concrete floor of my front porch. I got those onions from Hoss Tool last fall, they are the perfect short day onions for us here in north east Florida. Great onions, red, white and yellow. I prefer the yellow, my wife loves the red the most, but we both enjoy all of them.

@CrazyPalidin57 Год назад

You should hang them in a dark dry place until the stem starts to dry out from the bulb.

@lancecorporalveteran0621 Год назад

2 or 3 days to cure! It took my onions a week and a half but the they came great.

@FoxDreams Год назад

We always strung them together with baling twine and hung them from the rafters in the shed....

@michaelkurtz1967 Год назад

Have seen some lay them out on skids or actually thread them through the slats. Thanks for the video.

@jeffkeith3654 Год назад

We always would take binder twine and tie 6 onions tops together. Then hang them. Pulling onions from the cellar as needed.

@geralddewetter4594 Год назад

We used to let them dry enough to knock dirt off then braid the tops onto piece of sisal baler twine hang them in cool place in basement.

@tinadunaway1737 Год назад

You could use the tops dehydrate them and make onion powder 😊

@consueloharo-4911 Год назад

You braid them in a long string shape and hang them, and cut off from the main string , right next to the onion ball/body, from the bottom up!, all continental native Indians know that, ask them or google it!

@ConnivingBones Год назад

@Manzanita1890 Год назад

Oh my, even in Arizona it takes 1-2 weeks for them to dry properly. A few days will not do the trick… they need air circulation too!

@kennethlaw9830 Год назад

You dont lay them out. You put several together, tie a string around the tops, and hang them.

@SmallVansBigWorld Год назад

Wrong! You have to do it in the shade! The sun will ruin it.

@robertsumner3859 Год назад

however when you're lying them on the ground they get ground moisture so every time you flip them the grounds given a moisture again so you're defeating the purpose you need to put them in a netting or something and hang them

@jesse75 Год назад

In California agriculture, farmers let the onions dry out right in the ground.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

That's what the big onions farmers in Vidalia (not too far from us) do as well. I needed to get this plot cleaned up so I could plant something else, so that's why I moved mine onto the grass. But I have just pulled and plopped them onto the soil many times.

@jesse75 Год назад

@@LazyDogFarm glad to know it worked. It takes a good 2 months in California for the onions to cure. 2 months the ground is not growing anything. I have a 10 acre farm in the Philippines, going to grow onions, but pull some and see if they dry out okay.

@joewearsadroolbib7347 Год назад

@stevecollins3496 Год назад

Would it be better to hang them? Like from a clothesline or something so you don't get any potential morning dew on them? Just curious.

@LazyDogFarm Год назад

That works too.

@FranSoose-yf3ex Год назад

The bare ground creates moisture when cover & at night . It's better to hang them

I’m torn cuz on one hand I wanna see a rematch because of how high the stakes will be for Izzy, it’s literally do or die in terms of his legacy. It’s already taken a hit but if he loses twice in a row to Sean it’s a wrap for the Izzy era On the other hand out of merit I feel like Dricus deserves a shot because he finished Whittaker. But idk Izzy Sean 2 sounds more interesting personally.

You can save all of that crap if you harvest AFTER the tops have died. The bulbs are now dormant waiting for spring to come around. They keep just fine if you don't jump the gun.

@@LazyDogFarm how many commercial growers follow your channel? Commercial growers do that due to the number of onions their harvesting. I’m not being critical of your approach. Just pointing out how other small garden growers do it. Direct sun can cause sun scald. Not to mention issues if it rains. To each their own.
