If you have the space available, digging a root cellar would be an alternative to other, expensive, methods of food preservation - especially if, when you plan your ‘survival garden’, you put in a lot of ‘root crops’ (ie. taters, onions, turnips, and the like), which under the right conditions, store for long periods of time with little or no prep.....
I wish but the water level is too high. Even before Hussein’s reign, I wanted a tornato shelter but it’s just impossible here.
I’ve posted this before. Many years ago, granny had grandpa clean out their root cellar. He got down there and started sampling the home canned blackberry juice. Uh huh, you guessed it. He called the neighbor over and they had a rip roaring time getting drunk on it. Granny wasn’t pleased.
