The properties are rarely large and the tie will have been made as a condition when planning permission was given to build a home on agricultural land. Although thereâs unlikely to be a reduction in price for an agricultural property with extensive acreage, there could be discounts of up to 30% for anything under 100 acres. âThe amount of discount depends on how much land is with it,â says David Cross, director of Savillsâ Salisbury office.
Onions are easy to dry, and being lightweight, they reconstitute easily. Peel and slice them in rings about 1/8 inch thick and put them in a dehydrator at about 140Â°F until they're nearly dry. To keep the pieces from browning, bring the temperature down to 130Â° F for the last hour or so and keep testing for dryness. If you don't own a dehydrator, try drying onions in your oven.
I've been drying out onions to prepare them for storage. This batch was lifted - from sodden beds - during the non-stop rains of late July, then spread in a single layer on crates and mushroom boxes in the shed.

Ordinarily, I would have left them out on sun-baked earth in the hot August sun.
