That’s actually really interesting. Thanks. I like learning about how older generations dealt with the same type of problems we do, but before modern inventions. I was watching some history channel thing about how rich people would get ice from frozen places and ship them back home to keep things cold.
I like the simple solutions you mentioned more. Food going underground to keep cool and humid with proper storage is something I don’t really have to think about today.
You’re welcome! You can do the same thing with a fridge on the lowest setting. You wrap each perfect apple in butcher, waxed or plain brown paper to prevent them from drying out. You can raise humidity in there easily, this keeps the apples from wrinkling. This method is working for me, this is month 2. Source: book “Stocking Up” from Rodale Press.
