Refrigerator root cellar foundation
We decided to dig the refrigerator
root cellar down a bit deeper to accommodate a large cinder block
in each corner. I thought two
post holes in the middle might help to increase the cold surface area
that will hopefully stream a steady flow of cool air up through the
refrigerator and out the soon to be installed vent pipe.

Hi! I was just wondering if the refrigerator root cellar ended up holding a good temperature all year long? I saw you comment you’d be tracking it, but I didn’t see a comment in the results.
Thank you, Laura
