I just did the pantyhose method with onions I harvested from my garden. I hung them in my basement. I looped them over a bar and then covered them lightly with a sheet - we have windows in our basement because it's a walk-out, so it's not very dark. I hope it works out ok - I will have to keep you posted. I think garlic would def. be good stored this way. FWIW, I had to go and buy pantyhose to do this bc. I don't own any!
eta: Any tips for potato storage? I have to harvest ours but I don't have a root cellar...not sure how I'm going to store them... We've generally just eaten them as new potatoes but this year we have so many!
