So we want to build a root cellar but have very limited funds (donations of money, materials and time) and are going to have to build from scratch. We don't have an existing basement to use or anything. Long story short I'm looking for a good web site or someone with good knowledge on the subject to chat with. If anyone out there has a direction to point me in I would love to hear it. Thank you for your time and god bless!!

(I love Seattle too.) I'm really not sure what to say about how to keep a root cellar in the balmy NW cool. I have a vague memory that my grandparents (who lived in Boring, OR) had a root cellar of sorts built into the ground outside. So an outdoor "pit" of sorts might be another option. I am curious to know if others in the NW have built root cellars and how this works for them... Ooh – sorry for my delay – I didn’t realize people were commenting on these posts. =)

We're shopping now.) as part of an urban semi-selfsustainable homestead. I see that you keep your cellar cool using the lovely outdoor Minneapolis winter air throughout the winter. Any ideas about how keep a cellar in that 32 - 38 degree range here in the balmy northwest? I'm on my way to your website now--thanks for blogging about what you do!
