Now you can use what our professional onion harvesters use when clipping the tops and bottoms off the mature bulbs. Ergonomically designed for quick and easy removal of roots and onion leaves, they also work on all alliums. Of course, we don’t expect you to clip over 5,000 pounds like most of our experts are capable of doing, but these shears will aid in ensuring a bountiful harvest.

Our grandmother used to store her onions in pantyhose, and this mesh netting serves the same purpose. We tried to sell used pantyhose but they weren’t exactly the best sellers.

Ideal for the home gardener! Keep your onions garden-fresh for later use. Approximately 9 ft of mesh netting. To use, tie a knot at the end of netting. Drop in an onion and tie another knot. Repeat process until net is full. Suspend bag over a nail or rafter and store in a cool, dry area. Instructions included.
