Customer Response

Good for One Specific Design
This pamphlet contains fairly detailed instructions on how to build a 12'x8' root cellar on a flat piece of ground (dig 4 feet down, stack the cinder block walls, put on a wooden roof, and heap the excavated soil over and around it. It contains no information for modifying or enlarging the design, how to use the cellar, or anything else. Still, it's reasonably priced, so I was satisfied with the limited info.

good "how to" book
Nice inexpensive book with the details to construct your own root cellar! Easy to follow instructionsI live in the country and have about 25 fruit trees that usually have much go to waste because I didn't have ample storage space. I enjoyed this book, easy to read, clear instructions.

BUILD YOUR OWN UNDERGROUNG ROOT CELLAR
This is a very well designed book that will show anyone how to build a cellar, easy to understand and complete with well thought out diagrams.

Great information
My husband built our root cellar using only the instructions in this book. Having this kind of storage is wonderful! Carrots, beets, all root vegetables stay amazingly fresh for months packed in damp sand in the cellar. We've been using the cellar for three years now and have never had a rodent get into it. Building a root cellar by hand from scratch is a major project, but well worth the effort!

Not Practical
Certainly informative and thorough, however I question the practicality of their plan for the type of person (me), who would actually build something like this. This is a plan for the Rolls Royce of Root Cellars
