Storing potatoes

How do you store your potatoes?

I was thinking about carving into the side of a hill, building a shed, and keeping them in the cool. The reason for the shed in the hill is to keep them cool.

But what's the point of putting the shed in the hill?

To be able to keep a temperature of 40 - 45 degrees in the wintertime.

Storing them with a few apples help prevent eyes from forming.
Something my parents and grandparents taught me but it actually works,

People used to build rootcellars out of brick or concrete.

Well, we always store them cool in a room in the basement.

Earth cellars have been used throughout history to store root fruits as potatoes so your idea is probably very good.

Right on mate.

That is exactly what I am building.

I started digging. I will post pictures soon.

Right on.

I even read about people just burying their food in heaps of soil for the winter. Of course, I am going to make a quality root cellar.

I am digging the hole right now. I will then lay a cement floor and use cinder block for the walls.

Thats pretty much what I was talking about.  Where I grew up there were river bluffs so people had vertical land on their property. It didnt take much to carve a little 10ft room into the side of the hill and build a couple walls and throw in a door.
