5 Steps to Successful Root Cellaring
Growing your own food can be very rewarding, especially during the summer months when veggies can be washed, cooked and on the table the very same day they’re picked (nothing fresher than that!). An underground chamber doesn’t see much temperature fluctuation, and during the colder months the conditions within will be nice and cool. When done properly, your root cellar can preserve food right through the winter, and making your own can be ridiculously cheap and simple to do.
*** TIP – Two small investments for your root cellar should be a thermometer to measure temperature and a hygrometer to measure humidity. This way you can ensure your conditions are right to keep your food fresh for the longest possible time. ***
