Where and/or how do you store your root vegetables? Onions and potatoes?

I had a small, plastic cart with three drawers on casters that I have been using for several years. It doesn't provide the needed ventilation needed though. I want to switch to something different, but nothing that sits on the counter or hangs on a wall.

I did a simple Google search ""how to store root vegetables"". You may want to do a search ""How can I use a plastic storage container to keep root vegetables?"" How can I change this container? Please let us know what you decide.

You could drill a bunch of holes in the bottom. I keep mine in the fridge.

I store my onions in a straw basket on the floor in my kitchen; I usually have about 5 lbs in there at all times. Right now we have 50 lbs of potatoes in our garage; they are in cardboard boxes in a dark corner.
