Potato & Onions?

[Rouge]

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

Oooohh.. thats a good idea..

My onions live in the bottom of my fridge in the crisper thingy with the garlic. Normal potatos as in the cupboard and we dont eat sweet potato so dont have that But do put pumpkin in the bottom of the fridge also in the crisper section.

All my vegies are kept in the fridge - a habit from living in the hot northern climates

All of them?? even the potato? I don't know if I'll have enough room for all my vegies in the fridge
for the time being though, I've removed them from the "roach" cupboard, and put them in closed ice cream containers, and I'll put them in another cupboard, that hopefully, the roaches can't access (its a newer one so hopefully a little more sealed)
Thanks for everyone's ideas!!!

I keep mine in a Tupperware container specifically for root vegetables - they are a plastic container with a flap that has holes (too small for vermon to get through) to allow for aeration - the flap allows easy access. I've kept mine for up to 3 weeks this way. this is unbrushed potatoes as I find these keep longer than the wshed potates.

most people up here keep theirs in the fridge becuase of the humidity and sweating issues.


and remember never to keep your onions and potatoes in the same container as they feed off each other and go off faster.
