    good video and informative, many comments are getting hung up on the 750kg max, which is fine if thats all you need for mulch etc. If some needs more go for the 1400kg braked versions which are readily available for many suppliers

    Great job! I have always wanted a root cellar, but instead, I have an insulated room in my pole barn. Here in mid-Missouri, USA - the fall is too warm to store fruit and roots. The outdoor temps will range from 60 degrees F to 85 degrees F. So I installed a window air-conditioner and can now drop the room temp to 55 degrees F even on the hot days. Last year, I only needed the A/C for about a month until the outdoor temp cooled. If I wanted to speed $400 (which I don't) I could buy a "Cool- Bot" and the A/C could cool the room down to the 30's F.

    Absolutely loved this video mate. Often thought about the same. Your video is probably the most honest and succinct video I have watched. I wonder whether it’s worth it in the Riverina NSW? Might be hard to get those temps down. Thankyou John.

  • @vwbusguy
    @vwbusguy 2 месяца назад

    Ever thought about having external thermostat and internal thermostat connected to extractor that would always direct from the coolest way towards room regardless of time of day or if it's cooler outside it would automatically draw into room and if the room gets warmer at any point of day it would extract warm air out or if ground is warming room it can draw inward automatically

    • @homesteading
      @homesteading 2 месяца назад

      That could be done, but it's not hard to know when the coolest outdoor times are and set a timer accordingly.

    • @rubygray7749

      Too much groundwater from heavy rain. Climates that have heavy snow in winter are actually much dryer than ours. Cellars generally would become underground pools.

  • @grandmothergoose
    @grandmothergoose 2 месяца назад

    I'm fortunate enough to have a root cellar underneath my 100 year old little cottage house, but I currently don't use it nor the room above it because the floor bearers are damaged and unstable. Your video has given me some great tips and advice to keep in mind for when I eventually get around to replacing the floor and getting the cellar to a state of usable. Especially regarding the ventilation vs what is being stored, as my cellar floor is currently just dirt.

      Yes, I used 6 lynch pins through the bolt holes to centre it and 4 over center fasteners to hold it down tight. Goes on/off in a couple of minutes and without tools.
