Thanks. Much better than the last one I watched. Just what I needed! Let's get to it!

I'm brand new at growing onions let alone hanging them. I watched 3 other videos and your video was the only one I understood. I had to grow them in pots and the onions grew huge; since I don't have a garden area, I took a hook from the shower, hung it over the door and did the figure 8 and flop through the loop - they are now hanging from the vacuum in a cool room off the kitchen; thank you so much for making it easy to watch and understand :)

None of the other video tutorials 'flop' the onion I'm impressed.

[findroots]

Love this tutorial! So much easier than others I have found.. Thank you!!

[olmarcuse]

Omg I love your channel so much! I've learned such a wide variety of skills in just a few days! You both have a LOVELY vibe and are marvelous teachers. Please keep the how-to videos coming!

Thanks for the demonstration, always wanted to string my own onions, and now I know how!👍

My granddad strung his onions, and hung them in the shed. The crafty old so&so made it look like alchemy!!!
He had it down to a fine art. How many rows, how many onions per row, to keep grandma in onions for a year. He didn't use string though.
Grandma was forbidden from throwing knackered, laddered old tights away! 😂 Another excellent video. Thank you x

That's a lovely clear demonstration. Figure-of-eight, and push through the loop... Yep, got it. Thank you!🙂

I just found you guys yesterday, and I think this is my new favorite channel. Liked and subscribed, thanks from Chicago!

Omg it looked a lot harder than what it is! I love this idea. In mexico we are used to storing it in a wooden bowl. This is so much smarter! I love the internet 👍

Hi Hugh - THANK YOU! I watched onion stringing on another channel and couldn't see what she was doing or understand her explanation - I could clearly see on your video AND clearly understand your explanation. KUDOS!!! I look forward to seeing more videos on storage methods - and just about anything else you choose to post!

[seanmckeown]

Hi Hugh, had my first successful onion harvest this year, currently curing, so this video couldn't have come at a better time. I would love to see more videos on traditional storage methods.
Once again thanks for the inspiration

[TheOldSwedesFarm]

This is awesome! I'm going to try this! Cheers!

[chrisstaniforth]

Perfect explanation!! Guna crack on with mine later!! Cheers 😊

[addmcd]

Great video, I want to try the hanging method now. Thanks!

[Andrew.Croft.]

Always wondered how to do this, thanks for the vid.

[upta-q.a.m.p]

Very cool, thanks for your knowledge..

[bgtrev]

Never seen onions hung like this, we plait/braid all of ours then hang them in similar locations to what you mentioned. Dehydrated a load over the last few weeks as well. Definitely interested in the other storage methods you use, always happy to try new and adapt different ideas. Thanks again and hope all is well there.
