SC - Roots and war

[Jennifer L Sweet]

Hello,
	okay, now this may or may not be of use.  concerning the storage of root
vegetables, the book Stocking Up, by Rodale Press, copyright date 1977
states:  By alternating layers of dried leaves with layers of produce in
wooden boxes, they have firm and edible potatoes, apples, rutabagas,
carrots, and beets for as long as 50 weeks after they stored them... 
Pails, baskets and watertight barrels are used just as boxes
are...finishing with 2 inches or more of packing at the top.
	other packing materials recommended are hay, straw, sphagnum moss, or
damp crumpled burlap.  they actually mention old clean stockings for
onions and garlic... stuff one into the toe, tie a knot, stuff another in
behind the first, tie a knot, etc.
