In string bags. I don't grow enough to store for long; they're soon gone apart from the planters, which go in the ground in October.

I hang mine in the garage   - in small bunches.  They keep well until early July.  We never buy onions.

I strip them down and chuck them in a large string bag. I shake and turn them frequently.
