Market Farming

["Beth Spaugh" <lists AT rhomestead.com>]

Anyone successfully store leeks or a while?  Mine quickly turn yellow.  I looked at postharvest handling sites and the best I could find was to store at 32 under crushed ice or maybe 3 weeks.  We have walkin cooler at abou 35, and could do ice, but I want longer storage.  Anyone have a good way?

 

Alternative is to dig them up with lots o soil and hill them in a protected area with light to keep the leaves green.
