1. Good old bags

My grandmother always kept potatoes in bags, dropping them in the fall into the cellar. Decades have passed, and nothing has changed! Bag - one of the most popular choices for potato storage container.

Now use the fabric and polypropylene bags. Each of them intervened to 25 kg, therefore, results in savings of space, especially when you consider that they can be put on top of each other! Of course, you need to know when to stop: a large weight of tubers cracked. But the main condition - that the air bags are well passed. So less likely to rot. Therefore, natural burlap - my personal favorite, for which he earned the honorable first place in the individual ranking!

2. Wooden boxes are not far behind!

Another option from the "classics of the genre." Each standard size box intervene to 15 kg of potatoes. The only drawback of this method - according to the rules, between the boxes should be a distance of not less than 10 cm. So that the air is well circulated, and the risk of transmission of the fungus from one tuber to another in a nearby drawer - was minimal. But I note that, in practice, almost no one observes, and the potatoes stored well.

3. Grid

Mesh - similar bag. Its advantage is that the tubers are perfectly ventilated. Periodically, you can inspect the potatoes and to see whether there were warning signs of rot or other type of damage. Minus - a little "white light" for rodents. Although the bag and the box can not stop mice and rats, if you gave them the right to walk around in your household) More it is important that the potatoes in nets did not get sunlight - quickly become green (poison appears in the tubers - solanine).
