ering your produce with slightly damp peat moss, or with plastic to reduce water loss.
If a suitable place is not available in the house, you may store your root crops, potatoes and cabbage in an unheated garage or tool shed. The temperature will remain at a more uniform low level if the building is insulated.
PLACE the produce in barrels or boxes to exclude light, but do provide some ventilation. The use of peat moss, sawdust, or plastic will help reduce water loss as suggested for basement storage. As the temperature gets colder in early winter you may need to add insulation to avoid damage by freezing.
A small but practical pit-type storage can be made at the edge of the garden, from a wooden barrel or metal drum. Lay the barrel or drum on its side and make a hole several inches square at the top of the solid end, which was the. bottom when the barrel stood upright. This will provide the needed ventilation. Cover with a piece of quarter inch hardware cloth
