Can a Drain Tile Be Used for Storage
Ruth Foster notes a method to store vegetables using a drain tile. A 3 inch by 18 inch tile is placed in a pit deeper than the tile length, filled with sand or cinders, with bricks supporting the tile. Water runs along the tile walls to moisten materials, then the pit is closed and conditioned for days. A galvanized wire lid, dry leaves, straw, and an inverted tub cover the storage pit.
