I mean, potatoes are pretty picky about their storage too.

someguy3@lemmy.world on 10 Jan 02:24 next collapse

Root cellars were amazing things. My grandparents would grow potatoes and store them for a year until next harvest.

dogsnest@lemmy.world on 10 Jan 02:27 next collapse

Root.

heh

I’ve got a heat-pump water heater that keeps my utility room at root cellar temperatures which is pretty nice

I mean, you say that, but I once had some carrots which had turned black on the outside and when I peeled them, they still looked and tasted like fresh carrots.

Sam_Bass@lemmy.world on 10 Jan 05:34 next collapse

My potatoes are kept in the bag they were bought in. Last a lot longer there than all the other storage solutions I’ve tried like wooden bins, metal bins and refrigerator.

iheartneopets@lemm.ee on 11 Jan 12:02 collapse

Mine are stored in their bag, too, but seem to go mushy after two weeks, so I have been looking for other solutions. Is there anything in particular you’re doing when storing them in their bag?

JayJay@lemmy.world on 11 Jan 12:55 collapse

My parents would hang the bag in their pantry idk if that’s the right way or not.

iheartneopets@lemm.ee on 11 Jan 17:23 collapse

Okay, I’ll try it like this. The next thing I was going to try was sticking them in a box, individually packed in newspaper. I think straw is what was used in ye olden times, but newspaper would be easier to source these days

Btw if you haven’t seen this guy before, he’s a Ukrainian youtuber called super sus and he does some interesting urban exploration. Not as much old soviet stuff these days for some reason but still going.

I live in Norway and would make the case that everything we grow outside is like this. Potatoes, beets, carrots, cauliflower and onions are the most popular crops.
