There is another option for storing carrots. However, this method is recommended to store a certain part of the crop, since there will be no access to vegetables during the winter period. During the harvesting of root crops, a certain area is left untouched, and before the first frosts, the tops should be removed from the vegetables, covered with sand and covered with a thick film. Sawdust, peat, dry leaves are laid on top, and all this is covered with a film. Underground carrots do not lose their sweetness and juiciness. With the onset of spring, it remains to open the garden and enjoy the fresh root crops.
