Hi Tribesman06.
Hope this information will be of help.
You need a timber box or crate.(any size) even a tomato crate will do.
Line the bottom with newspaper . put layer of sand approx. 1/4 inch then put a layer of spuds on top.Cover with sand now a layer of newspaper 3 to 4 sheets thick. Then repeat unitl box is full. one layer at a time only. this can be stored anywhere.
Do not wash spuds. Any clean sand will do.
Spuds should last till next season.
This is the old way of storing spuds.
If you need any information i will PM my hubbys number and he will explain.
