The Root Cellar By C. A. Thomas The idea for The Root Cellar came during one of many periods of extemporary daydreams. The first chapter opened up like a giant movie screen and, in the spur of a moment, it became necessary to quickly find a pen and paper. The words were coming so fast in one afternoon, nearly all the main characters had presented themselves. It was time to get out the old typewriter. Yet it was fun for author C. A. Thomas; plotting and planning, talking to herself, taking each characters’ part, repeating each phrase, grimacing in the mirror. The comment that is often lamented about a thing becoming, “a labor of love,” is absolutely understandable. Days went by. And those days turned into weeks. It took two old, run-down typewriters and an out-of-date word processor to eventually finish the original work. Subsequent readings of the completed manuscript led to many changes. Editing of the original got to be quite cumbersome, but The Root Cellar was finally a finished product.

For most people, the term “root cellar” evokes an image of a brick or stone masonry subterranean structure tunneled into a hillside. These classic root cellars are only one of a number of different types of structures used to preserve root crops, vegetables and fruits over the past 400 years. The other structures include subfloor pits, cooling pits, house cellars, barn cellars, field root pits & trenches, and root houses. Root Cellars in America provides a history of all the structures, discusses their design principles, and details how they were constructed. The text is accompanied by period illustrations from the agricultural literature along with archaeological photographs.

Fruits and vegetables are some of the most expensive parts of any regular menu in your home. With rising transportation costs, a food increase in the summer of 2008 of almost 2 percent, and continually shrinking supplies, the cost of maintaining a healthy supply of these necessary staples is becoming harder and harder for many families. However, with the right resources and planning, you can take advantage of an age old method of storage that will allow you to buy fruits and vegetables when they are least expensive or to grow your own and store them for future use. This book will walk anyone through the process of building and using a root cellar to store their fruits and vegetables for later use, through the cold winter months when even the most basic items can cost an arm and a leg. Before even starting your root cellar, you will learn the basics of choosing the right crops and planting them at the right time or buying them in advance for your root cellar. You will learn how to know which crops and which specific vegetables and fruits are good to keep and which ones should be left alone. You will learn how and when to bring in the harvest and how to prepare for storage effectively. You will learn the basics of spoilage and what to expect from your foods. You will learn what to expect each winter for multiple month storage and which vegetables and fruits to start expecting in your cellar. You will also benefit from interviews with the top experts in the field of storage and root cellaring and farmers who have been storing vegetables for years. You will learn how to start your own underground garden and what various types of cellars exist trenches, closets, and hideaways. You will learn how to start planning your root cellar, how to utilise your basement if you so desire and how to start excavating and preparing it for the first harvest. No matter your situation or your crops, you can benefit from this book and its take on the world of root cellaring and long term fruit and vegetable storage.

Root Cellar Construction Handbook This book is for you if; 1. You want to preserve your home-grown fresh produce to last all year. 2. You want to sustain the security of your food in a grid-down situation. 3. You want to live off the grid and need to freshly preserve your foods. 4. You want a non-modern method of preserving foods should a natural disaster occur. Suppose you own a sizable garden or orchard or purchase additional farm fresh produce in season to consume throughout the year. In that case, you are aware of how time- and space-consuming it can be to store all those tasty vegetables and fruits. Although some foods, like broccoli and cherries, must be preserved by canning, freezing, or dehydrating, several vegetables and fruits can be preserved naturally by storing them in a cool, dark environment clear of rodents and other predators. To achieve this, the best solution is to have a root cellar considering the majority of us do not own an industrial-sized walk-in refrigerator to store things in (and don't wish to pay the electricity bill on one either). The root cellar was an essential element of the home in the era before supermarkets because it allowed the family to feed until the coming year's produce. Once again, root cellars are becoming important for the contemporary gardener and anybody striving for self-sufficiency as an energy-free, inexpensive alternative for storing produce to savor the tastes of the garden in the dead of winter and to preserve rootstock and bulbs for the next growing season. Of course, building a root cellar requires you to have sufficient knowledge on the subject to avoid making mistakes even before you begin, and that's why this book, Root Cellar Construction Handbook, was written; to serve as your compass and map to setting up a thriving root cellar. Below are some of the learning points covered in this book; 1. The pros and cons of having a root cellar. 2. The types of root cellar options available. 3. Tips for running a successful root cellar 4. Foods you can store in a root cellar, how to prepare and store them, and their storage conditions. 5. Root cellar construction requirements vis-à-vis the temperature, humidity, darkness, ventilation, size, etc. 6· Constructing an underground root cellar. 7· Constructing root cellar alternatives, e.g., sunken fridge or freezer and bucket root cellar. 8· Root cellar construction mistakes to avoid …and so much more! So, what more are you waiting for? Get a copy of this book RIGHT NOW to begin your root cellaring journey.

There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe. When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing. You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine, and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials) offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good times and bad. Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption seriously—When Technology Fails ends on a positive, proactive note with a new chapter on "Making the Shift to Sustainability," which offers practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community and global levels.

It looked like an ordinary root cellar—And if twelve-year-old Rose hadn't been so unhappy in her new home, where she'd been sent to live with unknown relatives, she probably would never have fled down the stairs to the root cellar in the first place. And if she hadn't, she never would have climbed up into another century, the world of the 1860s, and the chaos of Civil War…
