Mike Jay wrote:I think I still need more clarification. If you want a freezer solution, you need it to get below freezing (ideally around 0F) and stay there reliably. A root cellar solution would aim for 34F.
A freezer would likely do just fine without any ventilation. A root cellar needs some ventilation and a lot of humidity.

Ground Source heat pumps, return well water, or some other refrigerant, at just a few degrees above freezing. For anyone running one of these, this could be the perfect refrigerant fluid.
