    Apparently your Root cellar video is wildly popular. I think I speak for a lot of people, we would love to see how you build this. If you can't show us how to build it at least please tell us how you built it. It's a wonderful thing to and you should be very proud! Thank you for sharing.

    in Lithuania, Russia people still keep root cellars about 9-12 square metres large and about 2-3metres deep, with small window to dry in summer which is covered from outside from light. Floor natural ground, sand to keep moisture balance naturally. We keep 9-12 bags of potatoes 50 kg each bag for all winter, don't know how much that in pounds. We keep only late type potatoes to store well. also about1-2bags of carrots we dig in 1 corner of down cellar to not overdry, we disinfect ground, sand with dry building lime powder. We also keep 4bags (200kg)of red beetroot. we make a wooden fence in 1/3space of downcellar room to spill potatoes loose from bags. that wooden space will is set in 2 parts for springtime check of potatoes checking each of them about spoil, greenish colour or too long sprouts that make potatoes too wrinkly, too dry for food but good for planting if is time. in some corner we have a pot (4-6buckets of sauer kraut cabbage), and wooden shelves for homemade jam, compote, chutney, marinated vegetables jars, fermented, pickled foods jars... in summer time when root cellar is almost empty we disinfect walls with natural lime painting is just lime with water... and keep doors, window open for breeze & drying...

It does get quite hot here, even from fall though spring. The cellar does stay much cooler though. I'm hoping it will work for me.

    I store my root crops as well as apples and cabbages in my root cellar. I use slotted plastic bins with layers of soaking wet wood shavings. I put down an inch or so of shavings and soak the heavily with a garden hose. Then I put a layer of veg on the bed of shavings trying to keep them from touching each other, cover with shavings and soak again then another layer of veg etc until the basket is full. The water keeps the crop well hydrated well into the spring and the acid from the pine shavings deters fungus. Carrots come out in excellent shape all the way into June. Other crops come out great too. You can do this with celery too but it turns yellow (loses the chlorophyll) but is still good to eat. Endive does the same. When the crates empty out of veg I just use the shavings on the hen house floor. And the seasons ,they go round and round!

A lot of people become more interested in gardening these days. I remember my grandfather having a piece of bouw, vegetable garden so he could feed his large family. And my mums stories about how my grandparents stood proudly before their self filled pantry. I think growing your own food become more acctual every day.

    Stumbled on this. Just subbed. Never met a Newfoundlander I didn't like right off. Not one! Love the cellar and I'd appreciate an update later on the specs. I want to build them for others as well. Storing root veggies in any quantity is becoming an issue. Arctic Acres has NICE geo-dysic domes for year round veggies but seriou$. Thanks Brother. Please run for public office!!!!!😁

    Hi and good day to you! My grandson and I Enjoyed your root cellar tour finding it really interesting. So many kinds of potatoes! We have a small garden here planting potatoes in bags. Our harvest wasn’t that great but it was fun to experiment. Have a question for you how do you keep the humidity level so high in your root cellar? We put our potatoes in a cold dark spot in basement but still they sprouted about a month ago. Your videos are really neat!

      I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!!
      The cellar is buried underground maybe 90% so the humidity stays virtually the same as the earth that covers it. It self-regulates and I have very little control over it.
      For good storage of potatoes, you need the proper temperature (2-8 degrees C) and the right relative humidity (at least 80%) and total darkness. Basically, you need them to 'think' they are still underground in winter. Hope this helps.

    Excellent video!! It’s our first time stopping by. Love your vibe! We are wanting to do a root cellar here in southern Missouri. I’m Canadian too, and always had a cellar growing up. Brian is from Texas so he never had one. We think it would do really well here. It’s humid almost always, so the veggies should be happy underground. Thanks for your video. We’re gonna dig into more!
