Storage is actually more simple than any other kind of preservation for a number of vegetables.
If you have a cellar you might want to think about partitioning off a place there, be sure there is an outside window and also a dirt floor to help keep the relative humidity high enough so that the root crops will not shrivel. One difficulty one might encounter in home storage of vegetables is the fact that different products require different storage conditions for the best results. The root celler is designed to supply cool moist conditions which are ideal for Carrots, Beets, celery, Cabbage, Turnips and other root crops while the home shelter could leave a serious problem with these vegetables as high humidity must be maintained in the storage room. If a basement root cellar is cold but not too dry, root crops may be placed in an ash can, lard can, or other tight and covered containers, preventing the loss of moisture. If the outdoor soil temperatures can be kept below the freezing point, the storage conditions within the soil are most nearly ideal for the root crops.
