#RootCellars: Types and Storage Tips

Written By: Sandy Newton
February 13, 2026

"Root cellars are 'cool' again (pun intended!). With modern refrigeration, root cellars seemed obsolete. However, with a renewed interest in #gardening, #FoodSecurity, and even #SustainableLiving, root cellars have returned! Here are some advantages of storing root vegetables in a root cellar.

Take a look at a few types of root cellars.

Before refrigeration, an underground #RootCellar was an essential way to store carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes, and other #RootVegetables. Today, root cellars have returned to keep food from freezing during the winter and keep food cool during the summer to prevent spoilage.

What Is a Root Cellar?

Technically, a root cellar is any storage location that uses the earth’s natural cooling, insulating, and humidifying properties. Whether you stock a root cellar with your own homegrown produce or the bounty from the local farmers’ market, it’s a time-tested storage method.

Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, beets, parsnips, rutabagas, and turnips are typically stored in a root cellar. The environment is ideal for storing jars of canned or pickled vegetables and the bulbs or rhizomes of perennial flowers as well. A secondary use for the root cellar is as a place to store wine, beer, or other homemade alcoholic beverages."

Real sustainability isn't about flawless choices. It's rest, convenience, and realistic boundaries. Automate what you can, ignore low-impact guilt, and protect your mental energy so you can keep going for years. Read the full guide:

Rapid changes rarely stick. Trying to eliminate all plastics, install solar, and go vegan in one week sets you up for failure. Habits take ~2 months to form naturally. Move at a pace that fits your actual life.

#sustainableliving #greenliving #eco #lifestyle #sustainability

The Pareto Principle applies to green living: 80% of your impact comes from just 20% of your actions. Stop agonizing over low-impact packaging. Protect your energy for high-impact moves like home efficiency or composting.

#sustainableliving #greenliving #eco #lifestyle #sustainability

Smart systems remove human error. Auto-adjusting thermostats save more energy over a year than memory ever could. Waterless cleaning tablets prevent supply runouts. Build eco-habits that work while you sleep.

#sustainableliving #greenliving #eco #lifestyle #sustainability

Convenience is actually a sustainability tool. Forcing hard eco-chores when you're stretched thin leads to quitting. Relying on automations and ready-made ethical options keeps green habits consistent without draining your battery.

#sustainableliving #greenliving #eco #lifestyle #sustainability

Digital feeds amplify the pressure. Endless zero-waste reels and tracking apps fuel comparison traps. Measuring a smart plug against an off-grid cabin setup isn't motivation; it's distraction. Mute guilt-driven content to stay focused on real progress.

🏡🌿 What if communities put people and nature first 🙏and cars last?

This village in Oosterwold, Almere shows what’s possible: shared gardens, orchards, green roofs, biodiversity, clean energy and community ownership. 🌳💚

Could more communities be designed this way? What would you change in your own community?

🎥 Watch the video, share your thoughts and boost if it inspires you! 🌍

Climate anxiety is already heavy. ~1/3 of US adults worry about it weekly. When eco-decisions feel like high-stakes exams, exhaustion sets in fast. Sustainability should never cost you your peace.

#sustainableliving #greenliving #eco #lifestyle #sustainability

Eco-perfectionism drains mental energy fast. The belief that every purchase must have zero impact creates an unsustainable all-or-nothing mindset. Partial efforts are valid steps forward, not failures.

Banner season for backyard cucumbers.
We always repurpose jars for food preserving.
I made 2 more jars of #FridgePickles.

🌱 Imagine coming home to a vibrant, green yard that looks fresh all year round.

Installing artificial grass is more than just rolling out a mat; it’s about careful planning and execution.

#Homemade #BananaPeels #fertilizer.
I throw in spent banana peels into a large bucket of water, with a bit of cane sugar(you don't need much) to speed up the breakdown of peels. If you leave it in sun for 5 days, it looks like this. Strain out & use as liquid fertilizer. You can either bury peels in garden beds or toss into compost to boost biomaterial.

'They have huge TVs': New generations are moving into communes
By Shiloh Payne

Hannah Pearl is raising her children in an intentional community where residents share land, values and support one another. But she doesn't want to "rough it" like she did when she was growing up.
