I'm at an impasse, I have a home with a "cold room" of sorts, but it's "broken" for all intensive purposes. I need cold storage for root veg asap!

Said room is a concrete room with only one exterior wall. It is located indoors under our front hall. no venting, and smells awful!
The exterior wall is where my front door is and would be extremely difficult and potentially costly to vent there.
Do I have indoor venting options?

I also have an insulated but unheated attached garage.
Could I simply build a small cupboard or room on the attached wall?

Weather here goes from -45C (-49F) in winter to +40C(104) in summer.

I was able to purchase 2 loads of composted horse manure, excellent quality. Yay!
Anyone else who is still looking, try knocking on a farmers door and asking, you'll be pleasantly surprised

I am build Hugel beds, 4 of them measuring 5' x 20', I have my layers of logs, branches, twigs and am ready to put on the compost...... one problem..... we just moved here and have almost no compost, noboday around wants to part with theirs as we are on sand in zone 3, seems to be a "hot" commodity

Can someone recommend what to do?
The nursery couldn't advise and said I should just stop while I'm ahead and cover it all with a 50/50 topsoil triple mix.
