If you own a vegetable garden or a greenhouse, you can always look forward to fresh vegetables. You can even store the vegetables in the greenhouse in winter.
Storing vegetables in the greenhouse
Proper storage is the be-all and end-all so that you can keep your vegetables for a long time. This storage can be done indoors or, in the longer term, also take place in an unheated greenhouse. However, since most vegetables are susceptible to frost, you should harvest them in good time.
Store vegetables - This is how it's done
If you now want to store your vegetables in an unheated greenhouse, you should proceed as follows: Make a hole of about 50 centimeters deep. There is a fruit box in there. Now cut off the roots and the leafy greens of the vegetables. Now you have to layer the vegetables in the box. However, it should not be contiguous. It is best if you provide the intermediate layers with moist sand. Some of the vegetables should still be sticking out of the sand. For example, you can store carrots vertically. This keeps vegetables fresh for several weeks.
Place an insulating layer over the vegetables
Since it can get really cold in the greenhouse in winter, you should form an insulating layer of leaves or straw over the vegetables . In this way, you not only protect the vegetables from the cold, but also from excessive sunlight. But always remember to ventilate the greenhouse on warmer days.
