Burying Potatoes and Cabbage for Winter Storage
A reader from Waterloo Iowa seeks guidance on storing late potatoes and thousands of cabbage heads. For potatoes, use a high, well-drained pile in a cone shape with straw or hay layers and 6 inches of earth, ventilated at the top, plus extra litter in extreme cold. avoid deep pits and open only after severe freezing passes. For cabbage, build a roofed, airy pit on a high, well-drained site, lay a floor of boards, stack heads face down with trimmed stems, provide ventilation at both ends, cover with coarse material and 6–8 inches of earth, and keep the inside near freezing to prevent heat damage.
