‘Groundfridge’ Root Cellar

A root cellar is not a new concept for preserving fruits and vegetables produced in the garden during the best seasons to enjoy them all winter long. Throughout history, men have used the constant ground temperature of more or less 10° C to extend the shelf life of foods without any energy cost. 
Whether a simple hole in the ground filled with sand, an old fridge buried in the ground or more advanced micro-architectures, there are infinite variations of root cellars.
