Root Cellaring by Mike and Nancy Bubel

ADD TO CART

320 pages, 6 x 9 paperback with photographs and illustrations. $14.95. Printed 1991.

Use the earth's naturally cool, stable temperature as an energy-saving way to store nearly 100 varieties of perishable fruits and vegetables all year long. For generations, a root cellar was essential for keeping a supply of fresh fruit and veggies to eat through the cold seasons; maintaining one is a nearly lost skill that might just come in handy next year. This comprehensive guide will tell you how to build a root cellar under a variety of conditions; what foods keep best and for how long; and what the optimal conditions are and how to maintain them.

Nancy Bubel has been a gardening columnist for Country Journal magazine since 1975 and has written for Mother Earth News, Organic Gardening, Horticulture, Family Circle, Woman's Day and New Shelter magazines. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the Society for Economic Botany, and a life member of both the Seed Savers Exchange and the Friends of the Trees Society.

A Poland native, Mike Bubel grew up with his family using many of the techniques in their book. He and his wife Nancy have been gardening and root cellaring in Philadelphia, in small towns, and on their one acre non-working farm in Wellsville, Pennsylvania.
