Our Earthbag Root Cellar Fails | Addressing the Mud Issue
We made the tough decision to deconstruct our earthbag root cellar that we built just one year ago. While burying the remains, we also take the opportunity to spread 40 yards of gravel around the property to decrease the mud come next spring thaw and increase the area we have to plow snow.
The root cellar structure worked wonderfully while it lasted to store the majority of our food through the winter but began showing signs of buckling with the heavy rains, frost, and the high water table in our area early this summer. We considered several options to replace the structure but came to no good conclusion and opted to end our ambitions here. We hope to find a solution for our food storage in the future but in the meantime we can be appreciative for what we were able to take away from this experience.
