More About This Book

Overview


Root cellaring, as many people remember but only a few people still practice, is a way of using the earth's naturally cool, stable temperature to store perishable fruits and vegetables. Root cellaring, as Mike and Nancy Bubel explain here, is a no-cost, simple, low-technology, energy-saving way to keep the harvest fresh all year long.

In Root Cellaring, the Bubels tell how to successfully use this natural storage approach. It's the first book devoted entirely to the subject, and it covers the subject with a thoroughness that makes it the only book you'll ever need on root cellaring.

Root Cellaring will tell you:

• How to choose vegetable and fruit varieties that will store best

• Specific individual storage requirements for nearly 100 home garden crops

• How to use root cellars in the country, in the city, and in any environment

• How to build root cellars, indoors and out, big and small, plain and fancy

• Case histories -- reports on the root cellaring techniques and experiences of many households all over North America

Root cellaring need not be strictly a country concept. Though it's often thought of as an adjunct to a large garden, a root cellar can in fact considerably stretch the resources of a small garden, making it easy to grow late succession crops for storage instead of many rows for canning and freezing. Best of all, root cellars can easily fit anywhere. Not everyone can live in the country, but everyone can benefit from natural cold storage.

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.

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. She and her husband Mike have been gardening and root cellaring in Philadelphia, in small towns, and on their one acre non-working farm in Wellsville, Pennsylvania.

    A reviewer

    The charts and drawings in this book save many a beginner time so that nutritious food grown in summer and fall can give security in the winter. The writing style is clear and warm as a kindly neighbor and presents even to the city dweller, a full range of understandable possibilities for storing fresh food properly and for as long as possible until it is needed.

    Great Book

    I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It has so many different ideas for creating a Root Cellar. It even has the exact situation we have with a cellar entry way to the out side. It was exactly what he had been talking about needing to do this 'someday'.
