4.0 out of 5 stars something to think about, March 22, 2007

By	Lorraine Davidoff (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am planning a root cellar, and this book was a big assist. I am a little farther south, and so it had a lot of information that is less applicable to me. Valuable for the northern half of the U.S.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, March 28, 2008

By	Jean Hammond "Back to the Old Ways" (Brutus, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really recommend this product as an excellent resource fo starting a root cellar project. I had considered just winging it, but the materials list has proven invaluable - mostly because it allows you to utilize found materials and save money. The step by step planning is very helpful. A great book for the money.
