First of all, thank you guys for being such enablers! :happy_flower
This year I'm going a little crazy in the garden and am facing the prospect of having waaay more produce than I can keep on top of. I have the techonology and knowledge for canning, drying and freezing, but was wondering about storing root veggies. This year I'm looking at a possible overload on onions, garlic and potatoes. Gonna try a fall crop of carrots, but last fall's carrot experiment is FINALLY at the eating stage, so not sure that they would need storing!
I would love to have a root cellar, but a) ground is flat, b) no backhoe and c) neither DH nor I like to dig big holes. Sooo, anybody have any genius suggestions?
Plan B: We have an unheated shop and garage (poor insulation in both) and a tack room that I keep a heater in just to keep everything a shade above freezing. Any recommendations here?
