Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables

Ok - so, "You gotta get this book" isn't entirely correct grammar! All I can say is - get the darn book! It's easy to read, comforting, inexpensive, a-pass-me-down-book, etceterea. I have it, read it, shared it with friends - and will NOT part with it. I also don't have a root cellar as of yet. ...but I will. Now - its time for you to say, "hey, I like what I see here - so why not get it - it's not expensive and look what I will reap from it". So there. Now you have it. Go for it. Just buy it. You'll love it and for the low price of $xx.xx its worth it (ok, so a Ron Popeil look-a-like I ain't, but hey!) Want a personalized endorsement for this book? ...

Outstanding book! The amount of information included makes this book well worth its price. The month-to-month calendar of what one can eat from their root cellar is especially helpful. The pictures, and descriptions, of several existing root cellars in various parts of the country was especially appreciated, and will definitely be utilized when I build my own root cellar. If you are interested in being self-sufficient, this book will be of great assistance.

A must buy for country-wise, self sufficient individuals. I initially borrowed it from the library, but it's worth the expense. Stretch your garden further than ever with this in-depth gem of a book.

This book has many tremendous, no nonsense, inexpensive, simple, low-tech, and energy saving ways to keep our harvests fresh.

It has reminded me of some simple techniques I'd forgotten, and taught me several new ones. I highly recommend it for those interested in what Y2K might present.

We're fortunate to have bought a property with a well designed root cellar already in place. Until I read this book, I had no idea how a root cellar 'worked'. This book suggests what foods are best for root cellaring, how long to expect to store them, and what temperatures should be maintained. Had I not read this book I would have wasted time and enery, and lost the nutrients in some foods by canning them rather than root cellaring them. A city dweller friend of mine borrowed my book and has decided to buy it. There are variety of good root cellar plans complete with illustrations and drawings for nearly any situation.
