Good info on what veggies and fruits keep well, what temp/humidity requirements they have, and how to build your own root cellar for cold storage. Motivated me to build my own. ( )

Anyone can learn to store fruits and vegetables safely and naturally with a cool, dark space (even a closet!) and the step-by-step advice in this book.

The ONLY book on this subject to have, covers all aspects of root cellaring and alternative storage methods for people in all situations. ( )

This is a truly comprehensive reference on root cellaring: selection of storage vegetables, planting strategies, storage techniques, construction information on various styles of root cellars, descriptions of actual root cellars, and recipes to use with storage vegetables. The book is well-organized and thorough, with good illustrations and photos, as well as nice reference tables. I felt the descriptions of actual root cellars dragged and wasn't excited by many of the recipes they suggested (in particular use of nonseasonable ingredients that can't be stored in a root cellar) but I think this is probably the best root cellar bible out there. I plan to buy this one for myself. ( )

An immensely useful book for anyone intending to build and stock a root cellar. Age-old technology like root cellaring does not lose efficacy with time, so don't let the age of this book fool you. ( )
