Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits and Vegetables by Mike and Nancy Bubel, 1991. Root cellaring is a way of using the earth's naturally cool, stable temperature to store perishable fruits and vegetables. Root Cellaring will tell you: how to choose vegetable and fruit varieties that will store best, specific individual storage requirements for nearly 100 home garden crops, and how to use root cellars in the country, in the city, and in any environment, how to build root cellars, indoors and out, big and small, plain and fancy. There are reports on the root cellaring techniques and experiences of many households all over North America. Though it's often thought of as an adjunct to a large garden, a root cellar can in fact considerably stretch the resources of a small garden, making it easy to grow late succession crops for storage instead of many rows for canning and freezing. Best of all, root cellars can easily fit anywhere. Not everyone can live in the country, but everyone can benefit from natural cold storage.
