I live in NW Alabama and, as expected, have a humidity problem. I have a 1/2 Basement under my home and the crawlspace is app. 5' high at the lowest point. There is app. 1300 sq. ft. of crawlspace.
I use the crawlspace for storage because there is a walkin door and plenty of headroom in about 1/3.
Most of the wooden shelving and a lot of rubber and plastic items have a light coating of white to light green mold.
The crawlspace is vented with foundation vents and there is a vapor barrier that is poorly installed. I have thoroughly inspected the dirt, after a heavy rain, and I see no water accumilation or apparent dampness.

I have done extensive reaserch and find that some recommend foundation vents and others back them up by recommending power ventilation.
Of course, these recommendations come from companies with items for sale.
On the other hand, some recommend closing off or covering the vents to disallow moisture from entering. And, of course, they sell these covers.
