Choosing Site For Storage Of Cabbage

In selecting a storage pit for cabbage use a ridge with well drained gravelly soil. The pit should be six to ten inches deep and sized by amount stored, wide enough for three to five heads on the bottom. Harvest by root, remove dead leaves, fold remaining leaves over heads, and avoid overripe or cracked heads. Place heads down with roots up, add a second layer between roots, limit to two layers to prevent crushing, cover with earth, and add straw or manure in cold weather. Cabbages store better in pits than in common cellars.
