until we build a proper pantry or even (gasp!) cellar, i am perplexed as to
waht to use to store pumpkin etc away from the rodents & the potential to
be
damaged by people blundering around in the dark, etc.
also, one day, we might have enough taties that we don't just eat
ourselves
stupid on them fresh & might have some to store! ditto apples, etc.
in the meantime, i was wondering if a person could use those lidded,
plastic
storage bins that stack together. clearly, one would need to drill holes
for
air, & line them with hessian or something.
is this a reasonable idea, or would they just rot from lack of air?
i could make some from wood, but i tend to be overwhelmed with things to
do
as it is. and also, the expense, as really (i hope!) we are talking about
something fairly tem****ary, & i already have some plastic crates i could
use.
what about wood frames with fly mesh sides & a lid - any thoughts? (rats
can
eat though modern mesh afaik, as it's made of plastic now)
got dh to look into old coolgardie safes, but being antique now, they are
hundreds of dollars each!!!
thanks in advance to anyone who has some ideas (please! fank you!)
