Root Cellaring
"Root Cellaring" has great information,most applicable for those who have room on their property, basements and those who are planning new construction.

ROOT CELLARING
I have learned a lot from reading this book. These authors really know their stuff! The most invaluable information is all of the specific instructions on how to prep and care for foods that will be stored over the winter. There is also adequate information on different styles and plans for root cellars. Worth every dime.

Important
Keep in mind that a root cellar is of litle use in the south. Down here they are called storm cellars. May be good for storing potatoes or onions, not much else.

More information on the subject than I will ever need...

More information on the subject than I will ever need. Well worth the price if you are interested in this long-established method of keeping food...

very detailed
Book was very detailed, explained what you do and WHY you do it that way. Included detailed instructions to build your own root cellar. Also included info on currently used cellars.
Detailed lists of what veggies/fruits/nuts to store, how to store them, & how long they are good for. Also includeds list of how much you'll need for a family of 4.
With the info in this book you can build a root cellar to use in most any climate (at least in the US & Canada).

Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in root cellaring.
