What we have done is washed and bagged (plastic with vents) 25#s of celeriac in November and stored in a cooler that seems to run at about 38 F. We are now getting "slime" on some/many of the roots. I am wondering if there are better ways to prevent this slime as we are at risk of loosing a lot of the crop much earlier in the winter storage season than I like to see and customers are starting to complain. Thanks for any info you can tell us. Thomas Arethusa Collective Farm Thomas Case, F. Benner Dana PO Box 8082 Burlington, Vermont 05402 802.578.6429 www.arethusacollectivefarm.com
