 Storing Onions and Potatoes

This year I'm digging more onions and potatoes than ever before. I don't have my old farm house any longer with cellar. What is the best modern day way to store this stuff.

 Storing Onions and Potatoes

I was able to plant over a month early this year, so the onions and potatoes are ready early. Also got carried away with the size of garden and have about 3X more than ever before. Normally, I leave them in the ground til Fall, digging only what I need. With all the hot weather, etc. I'm concerned with leaving them in the sun.

My basements are way too warm, and so are the garages and pole buildings to store them now. I used to have one dirt floor shed that we stored stuff in and covered potatoes with dirt as was mentioned during the winter. I had concrete poured in there as well.

Looks like I should get the backhoe out and dig a lean-to/cellar adjacent to one of the garages.

Was hoping for some new tech approach!
