What to do in the cellar during the winter thaw

In winter, many summer residents store tubers and root vegetables in this room.

A thaw increases the risk of losing the entire harvest. The reason is the increase in air humidity.

To correct the situation, the summer resident should open the ventilation in the cellar. If this is done in time, the vegetables will not rot even during the thaw.

In addition, the condition of the crop must be checked. All spoiled tubers and root crops must be removed from the boxes and thrown away to prevent the spread of diseases.

Earlier, the expert explained why it is necessary to sprinkle seedlings with ground cinnamon.
