Nev - pot-in-pot for root storage???
Posted: Tue May 08, 2007 1:45 am
Nev, I keep coming back to your wonderful article on the pot in pot fridge.
I was wondering ... do you think it would be any good for storing root veg - particularly potatoes? I know potatoes have to be kept above 5 degree C ... but I was wondering if the conditions within the pot in pot might be conducive to storage of potatoes.
Currently I store potatoes in my dark pantry in wickerwork baskets where they keep well - it has been several months since my potato harvest and I still have good quality spuds to use ... but I'm keen to find even longer ways of storing them. The pots appeal to me as they'd be rat proof and I could keep them under the house.
What about thing like carrots? (Although I have a good variety which grows year round so I generally always have some growing - the mini round carrot which is fabulous - so that isn't so important).
