Well researched and considered. Thorough, yet practical and attainable. I appreciated learning about all the different types of root cellars and how to build them. Previous to reading this book, a root cellar to me was and expensive underground project with stairs and cement walls and electricity. Until I can afford that we can inexpensively create/build/dig the other options.

I build a root cellar before purchasing this book. In hind sight I probably should have done it the other way around. Anyway, this book gives all the in's and out's about root cellaring, and has been most helpful to me. Since I've read the book I have improved the ventilation in my root cellar. And it has learned me that I should have more than one. There seems to be no easy solution for storing everything together, it's always going to be a compromise. Temperature fluctuations, humidity, combinations of fruits and vegetables that don't like each other, it's a more complex matter then I like it to be. This book gives answers to most questions, and is very good at giving you alternatives when you either don't have the space, the right environment, or the money to get to an optimal situation. Even in less then ideal conditions you can do a lot in terms of storage, and the book is very good to point you in different directions. There is only one topic that I miss in this book. How to create a root cellar when you live in an area with a high ground water table. Not all of us live on hill sides or high in the mountains. In low lying areas you can't just dig and forget about groundwater. It would have been helpfull with a chapter dedicated to this situation. Otherwise, if you want to store fruits and vegetables, highly recommended.

This is exactly what we were looking for so we could build a root cellar and it also gives creative ways to use space you already have. Recipes are included in the back also. If you want to make your garden last through the winter read this book.

This book looks interesting, but I am not a farmer. I plan to give this to my son (who has a farm) as a Christmas gift. I will have to wait for his reaction to the book.
