Market Farming

["Kelly Saxer" <kellysaxer AT hotmail.com>]

I recently acquired an old, used 8x8x8 walk-in cooler for my veggie farm.  
The refrigeration unit is no longer in a functioning state.  So, what I've 
got is a big, insulated box.  A farmer friend of mine suggested I use a 
residential A/C unit to cool the thing.  Has anyone out there tried this?  
If so, what has been your experience?  Does it cool the temperature down 
enough?  Is this economical?

Thanks for your input,

Kelly
