Potato & Onions?

[Kazbah]

I made a potato bin with a shelf under for onions. With my home-grown onions, when I harvest them I plait the leaves/stalks and hang them up.

Sweet potato I put in the fridge.

I keep potatoes and onions in the cupboard in the dark... but I put sweet potato in the fridge. I thought it was different for some reason?

Hmmm.. maybe I need to be gettin myself a bin... and start putting the sweet potato in the fridge obviously!!!!
Thanks guys

Potato & onions in the cupboard & sweet potato in the fridge for us too.

Though when we were on holidays we put the onions in the fridge due to lack of space & amazingly there was no smell or watery eyes. Been meaning to test it since getting home but haven't yet.

Really Sarah? I think I've read that somewhere too.... interesting..
I wonder if I can keep the potatoes and onions in the cupboard, still in my ice cream container if I try to keep the lid on it? Cos i'm pretty slack when it comes to keeping the lid on (busy busy as you all know)
or maybe its not good for them to be in containers that are plastic??

You could also put them in (seperate) hessian bags in your pantry.

I have a potato bag for my spuds and a onion bag for my onions. They have black plastic lining that stops them from sprouting and going yucky. I got them from one of those homewares mags for about $7 each
