Easy DIY Root Cellar from an Old Freezer
We are excited to announce that a re-purposed chest freezer makes a fantastic root cellar! It requires a few inexpensive parts, along with a bit of sweat equity, and the results are amazing. We have used our little root cellar for a few years now and are quite pleased with this inexpensive solution for storing fresh produce throughout the winter.
Steps create a working root cellar from an old broken freezer:
1. Select a shady location with good drainage
2. Prepare the freezer
3. Dig a hole large just a little bit larger than the freezer
4. Install ventilation pipes
5. Backfill the area around the freezer, use gravel if drainage is a concern
6. Construct a pallet to protect, insulate and disguise the freezer
This is a great way to turn a piece of junk into a valuable asset and to be prepared to live without electricity.
