Root Cellars Preserve Produce In Moist Warm Storage
Two cellars at a farm house and barn store beets cabbage carrots and apples. Moist warm conditions prevent rot while sand packing straw and bricks aid preservation. A side hill barn cellar uses a cement wall and a chute for easy unloading. February and March opening yields few defects. An older tree heals slower than a young one, taking years.
