Love the Storey Country Wisdom Bulletins. These are great because they are inexpensive and they offer basic useable information that most people can use. Which is more than I can say for some of the more expensive books I have bought. This Bulletin shows how you can either build under home or separate cold storage cellars for year round food storage. As well as using in ground units made from garbage cans with lids to old wooden barrels laid on their sides. As well as Pits and trenches which we have actually used for storing root crops. They also have a section beginning on page 20 where they list alot of vegetables and the best storage method. Beginning on page 26 they list the storage life expectancies of various vegetables. They also wisely caution to NOT store canned goods in cold storage areas.

This little book has a lot of good information about storing foods. I'd recommend it to anyone who just wants some basic information that doesn't cost an arm and a leg...

I really enjoy ALL of the Storey Counrty Wisdom Bulletins, and for a small bulletin, it has a lot to offer. I learned more than I thought I would.

I add notes to my Storey Bulletins, and then it becomes a HANDY TOOL you can use for a SPACIFIC TOPIC. I often take them into the garden with me. I own most of them, and plan to own all of them before too long.

This is a very short publication, and possibly dated. I did find thie information interesting, but am not sure quite where to implement this on my property.
