Anyone can learn to store fruits and vegetables safely and naturally with a cool, dark space (even a closet!) and the step-by-step advice in this book.
This book gathers everything you need to know about root cellaring between two covers. It details exactly what conditions you need to store every vegetable and fruit imaginable, and how long to expect them to last in storage. It includes precise directions on how to build a root cellar, as well as how to utilize spaces you already have around your house for food storage. You can tell the authors are writing about what they know, with techniques they have used themselves. Anyone can have some space dedicated to root cellaring. It inspired me to build a few crates to prepare for storing the garden's excess this winter. I highly recommend this book if you're a gardener, homesteader, or prepper.
I found this book to be very informative. We are in the process of planning a root cellar and this tells you everything you need to know on how to do it, how big you need, to what kind of vegetables store the best and when to plant them. I have learned alot!
"Root Cellaring" has great information,most applicable for those who have room on their property, basements and those who are planning new construction.
I have learned a lot from reading this book. These authors really know their stuff! The most invaluable information is all of the specific instructions on how to prep and care for foods that will be stored over the winter. There is also adequate information on different styles and plans for root cellars. Worth every dime.
Keep in mind that a root cellar is of litle use in the south. Down here they are called storm cellars. May be good for storing potatoes or onions, not much else.
