Use the earth's naturally cool, stable temperature as an energy-saving way to store nearly 100 varieties of perishable fruits and vegetables all year long. Root Cellaring explains how to successfully use this natural storage approach. It's the first book devoted entirely to the subject, and it covers the subject with a thoroughness that makes it the only book you'll ever need on root cellaring.
Root cellaring need not be strictly a country concept. Though it's often thought of as an adjunct to a large garden, a root cellar can in fact considerably stretch the resources of a small garden, making it easy to grow late succession crops for storage instead of many rows for canning and freezing. Best of all, root cellars can easily fit anywhere. Not everyone can live in the country, but everyone can benefit from natural cold storage.
Root Cellaring will teach you:
- How to choose vegetable and fruit varieties that will store best
- Specific individual storage requirements for nearly 100 home garden crops
- How to use root cellars in the country, in the city, and in any environment
- How to build root cellars, indoors and out, big and small, plain and fancy
- Case histories — reports on the root cellaring techniques and experiences of many households all over North America

A vinometer provides a quick measurement of alcohol in finished wine. Simply place a few drops in the tube and read its alcohol content on the scale. It is designed to measure dry wines with an alcohol content between 0% and 25%. Stronger wines can be tested by diluting the sample by 1/2 and then multiplying the result by 2. Sweeter wines with residual sugar can also be tested using the dilution method but will provide approximate results. The clear glass and white background is ideal for testing rosé and red wines (lighter-colored wines will be more difficult to read).
