Root Cellars

[Twister-n-Dos]

We have decided to add a root cellar to our landscaping plans. Hubby suggested that maybe we will make the entrance into my "Hobbit Hole" garden space that I have been wanting to create.

It probably won't be built until 2014, because we have other things on the to-do list that take precedence - like building the greenhouse so I have veggies to store in a root cellar.
We also need to build a detached garage/shop, hopefully in the spring that will happen.

I have a hold on the book you recommended and will pick it up from the library beginning of next week.
I'll let hubby start to work up the design as his winter project.

Good luck with your project! It is a major undertaking, but well worth the effort.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

No one else with a root cellar that wants to share?

Maybe there is a BackYardRootCellars.com?

Pulled this cabbage out of the root cellar today. Stored for over 7 months. Still in perfect shape.






The variety is Red Express. A new favorite for storage.
