Once the leaves have toppled I lift onions. At present I have the Japanese onions I harvested earlier placed upside down (using a dog cage as a drying rack.)
Even if nutrients do travel back into the onion from the dying leaves I don't think this would be reliant on gravity. Once dried I store my onions initially on the greenhouse staging then hung in a net   outdoors. Its just easier for me to go to the back door if I need an onion and storing outdoors seems to keep them plump and they get an odd shower from the rain.I just top the net bag up with onions as I need them.

Sometimes, if I don't need the land I just let the onions get on with it and dry off naturally in-situ. Usually though they get weed infested and it is easier to lift the onions than weed around them! Rolleyes
