Root cellaring, as many people remember but only a few people still
practice, is a way of using the earth's naturally cool, stable
temperature to store perishable fruits and vegetables. Root
cellaring, as Mike and Nancy Bubel explain here, is a no-cost,
simple, low-technology, energy-saving way to keep the harvest fresh
all year long.
In Root Cellaring, the Bubels tell how to successfully use this
natural storage approach. It's the first book devoted entirely to
the subject, and it covers the subject with a thoroughness that
makes it the only book you'll ever need on root cellaring.
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
* 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
* Case histories -- reports on the root cellaring techniques and
experiences of many households all over North America
Root cellaring need not be strictly a country concept. 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.
