    Storing Onions and Potatoes

    We stored about 50+lbs of potatoes in our basement which is cool and moist. After we dug them up we laid them out in a shady area to dry. We left all the dirt on them, put them in 5 gal buckets and some cardboard boxes and put them in the darkest part of our basement. They lasted until spring.
