About Onions from seed.

Hi everyone.
Bit of a silly question which will be obvious to you all, but I have sown some Onions indoors in modules and now they are about 2.5 inches tall. Do I pot them on into 3 inch pots, if so how much of the plant goes into the compost. The only references I have read talk about sowing them outside and thinning.
On another point, talk about silver linings. 3 of my neighbors were moaning as their fences got blown down. I asked what the problem was and it turned out they had a great big bonfire and burnt them but did not know what to do with the big pile of ashes. Quick as a flash I offered to take it off their hands, and now my Autumn sown Garlic is nestling in about 2 inches of Potash!!!
