Do you know if that works in areas of high humidity? I live in South Carolina, 60-80% humidity is common, and I would like to be able to store potatoes.

” Do you know if that works in areas of high humidity? “

As far as I know (and someone more knowledgable can certainly correct me), humidity isn’t as much a factor as light and heat - one article I read about the subject (I’m growing potatoes for the first time, myself, so I did some reading up) indicated that leaving the layer of dirt on ‘em helped to protect them from humidity...

YMMV... ;)

White and sweet potatoes can keep beautifully in a basement. I have read that you should keep all produce in the basement far away from apples.
