Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Hi Paul
the reason you don't bend the necks over is that it damages the cells 
before they have cured.  This can let in disease and the onions will 
not keep, which can be annoying if you buy in bulk for winter keep.
People in the UK buy red onions only occasionally, the white onion is 
the preferred for most cooking uses.
