>Probably your concern is freezing, is it not? Realize that in the Deep
South, where Bob is likely from, winter temps barely get below freezing,
and a cellar, insulated by dirt, would be far warmer than the >outside.
If a root cellar stays warm, I guess there's no point in having one. I
wonder where you would store things like potatoes and winter squash, that
like cool, slightly humid conditions?
Root cellars should never freeze...that ruins winter squash and a lot of
other things. Root cellars here are cool (but above freezing) and fairly
humid; more humid than I would like to store canned or dry foods. I guess
that also isn't a problem where Bob is.
