Now here is a useful and helpful little book. I do recommend it. I'm all excited about building a root celar, the photos, and examples, and explainations are perfect from start to finish. So much information in such a little book.

I really recommend this product as an excellent resource fo starting a root cellar project. A great book for the money. 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.

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

In an emergency, it could shelter your family for a few hours, a few days, or even a few weeks, if necessary.A well-built root cellar can be a good investment. Any time you need potatoes for dinner or an apple for a snack, just open the door and walk inside. Having a root cellar in your back yard is like having your own private supermarket of fresh fruits and vegetables. Anything you need is right there on the shelves.But a root cellar is more than a convenience. It will save you money for years to come, yet if you build the cellar yourself, the cost of materials is less than you would spend in one winter buying food at supermarket prices. In addition to providing the security of having a year's supply of fruits and vegetables on hand, a root cellar offers sanctuary.
