Zone 9a, south central LA here 👋 my mom says that her people used to store root veggies under the cistern (rain collection barrel). They were usually about 3 feet off the ground but I’m wondering really how cool that would be. And How to keep critters out. Anybody heard this? My follow up question is: since we don’t have a sister, but our house is about 3 feet off the ground, could we store root veggies under there? Maybe in a metal container with good latches to keep the rats and raccoons out?
