I want to build a root cellar and this book was recommended by a youtuber. What is the definitive root cellar book or Web resource that is a must have?

    As somebody who grew up with one, root cellars suck.

    There is always something rotting in them that you have to throw out. So you get a nasty rotten vegetable and dirt smell going all the time.

    Add that in to the brined pickles/cabbage that was fermenting and it was nasty.

    Running to get some carrots in the middle of the winter when it’s -25C out is not fun either.

      Fair call. I also want it to double as a cool, safe room for my family during the Australian summer and wildfire season.
