Summary

Root cellars are making a comeback!

Do you often wonder what to do with your harvest?

How are you going to store it all?

Or do you only grow small amounts because you lack sufficient storage space?

Why not build a root cellar?

Root cellars are an ancient tradition. Together with curing meats and pickling, root cellars have long been a food storage method, particularly root vegetables. Before modern refrigerators took over, they were once common, but people soon abandoned their traditional storage cellars for a more convenient method.

Large supermarkets mushroomed all over, providing fruit and vegetables all year round. Instead of reveling in what they could grow in their backyards, kids started to think that vegetables came in polythene bags.

Fortunately, root cellars are starting to make a noticeable comeback, enabling people to store more produce for longer without the need for electricity. Current events and food shortages have led to a resurgence of growing food in gardens for self-sufficiency and more organic produce.

The benefits of a root cellar are enormous - health, financial, physical, and psychological. This audiobook will introduce you to the fascinating concept of root cellars and walk you through how to build one.

You will learn:

  • What a root cellar is
  • How root cellars work
  • What you can store in your root cellar
  • DIY alternatives to building your own root cellar
  • Step-by-step guide on building a simple root cellar
  • DIY shelving for your root cellar
  • How to organize your produce for the best results
  • How to fix common issues with root cellars
  • How to clean and sanitize your root cellar

If you want to get back to basics, save money, and eat what you grow all year round, buy this audiobook and learn how to build your root cellar and store your own home-grown organic food!

Looks to be a complete resource.


I will survey this when I get to my homestead not long from now. Most certainly plan to assemble a decent root basement.

Excellent resource for learning about root cellars

I liked how detailed the audiobook is in showing a variety of kinds of root cellars. There were also details for different types of products and how they like to be stored. And a more in-depth paragraph on each produced item with a list of specific varieties that store well.

This time with a highlighter.

I'm planning to create a root cellar momentarily so I went through this audible hoping to get some helpful tips. I was not dissatisfied! It covered everything I wanted to know and even more. This had so much information that I'm going to listen to it again, this time with a highlighter.

Lots of information packed into it.

Loads of data are stuffed into it. An exceptionally intriguing guide. I advanced bunches of little realities that I didn't know previously, for example, the data on taking care of root vegetables to creatures over the cold weather a very long time before industry made grain a considerably more conservative feed.

Root Cellaring

Appears as though I'm getting a root basement. My better half is gobbling up this book and has begun purchasing supplies. I can hardly wait, up to my eyeballs in food that should be canned. With the new root basement, we won't need to can this food. Sign me up.
