Default Onions

Onions are ripening nicely, the leaves have turned over, so it is about
time to lift them.

Convention/experts say pull them out of the ground and leave them on the
soil to dry. ----- WHY?

I have always put them in the greenhouse (if there is space) on dried
them on an old sheet on the patio or in the garage if the weather is
wet. If you leave them on the soil they will surely rot or atract pests
- perhaps I'm missing something!
