Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables

More information on the subject than I will ever need. Well worth the price if you are interested in this long-established method of keeping food...

Book was very detailed, explained what you do and WHY you do it that way. Included detailed instructions to build your own root cellar. Also included info on currently used cellars.
Detailed lists of what veggies/fruits/nuts to store, how to store them, & how long they are good for. Also includeds list of how much you'll need for a family of 4.
With the info in this book you can build a root cellar to use in most any climate (at least in the US & Canada).

Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in root cellaring.

This is pretty much the only book that you'll need to get a root cellar up and running.
Good, solid information with good illustrations, this book is a winner.

I was happy to see the authors were from Pennsylvania. We live in Ohio right across the border so we are familiar with the weather and the conditions. We have an area under our stairs in the cellar (it is not a basement) that my husband and I are going to convert into a root cellar this fall using the information from the book. We will be monitoring the temp through this fall and winter. Next fall we will be using it to store our vegetables.

Excellent source for all sorts of information... lots of things I would have never though of!!!!!
